With Windows continuum and Ubuntu, that can both transform a phone to a desktop, why is there no octa-core 8GB 6-inch phone of lets say $2000-$3000?
Lot of developers would love to only bring a phone to work and than connect to screen/keyboard and you are ready :)
This way you only buy 1 device instead of 2, for the same money (or less)
It's a good idea. You should build one.
On paper, the phones of today are as good (spec wise) as the desktop computers of only a few years ago. But we never seem to reach the goal of the truly capable pocket computer.
Because every time they make the processors faster and add more RAM to mobile phones, they add more pointless bloat to the operating system, so you need faster processors and more RAM, just to run the OS smoothly.

Maybe its because most general heavy-duty 'laptop' work, requires an x86 cpu? Just a guess
One reason may be that a high-performance computer (with a fast CPU and GPU) would generate more heat than can be dissipated in a box the size of a phone.
