I don't think this makes sense until phones are basically as fast as current laptops.
Doesn't Apple have laptops in their current lineup which are less powerful than their top of the line phone?

The difference to me is that Continuum is still just a mobile OS that is scaled up. They even point that out in their promo material, it's a "desktop-like experience." Maru, while it looks very early in development, isn't a desktop-like experience. It's a desktop experience because it's running a desktop operating system.
Well, so is Continuum, technically. Windows Phone is its own SKU of Windows 10 but it's still Windows 10.
I'm wondering how secure it is.. According to https://github.com/maruos/maruos/wiki/Tips , they start sshd up by default, listening on the local network, with the default user maru and password maru. That seems like a bit of a red flag and makes me wonder if it is the tip of the iceberg.
sshd won't let you login with an empty password by default.
I find it amusing the promo shot shows it running on an Apple Thunderbolt display - which famously does not support HDMI input, only Thunderbolt - for which there is no MHL adapter.
Pretty sure this is incorrect, as I had an old DisplayPort Apple Display that I used with HDMI input, and from what I understand, the Thunderbolt displays also supported DisplayPort. Granted, the adapter was not cheap, but it did work.

Why aren't Apple or Google doing something like this?
