$2,747.35 AUD if it was going to be a 1 to 1 conversion (which it won't). I'm being priced out of high end smartphones, and I have a well paying job. This does not feel good.
WTF? If you have a high paying job, this is a couple of days work, and it is tax deducible in oz if you work in the industry.

The led panel is flexible. LG has a 1mm screen you can roll up in a tube.
Travel display for laptops hhhhhnnnngg
I wouldn't expect a good travel display until Apple or MS makes a first party one.

It isn't so much about the benchmark one uses. A CPU converts electricity to heat, and does computation as a side-effect. A CPU embedded in a laptop (or moreover, a desktop) is going to be able to convert more electricity into more heat — and more computation — by virtue of being able to better dissipate the heat due to having a larger surface area to do it over. (In addition to having active cooling — vents and fans…
Why do you think Apple is bringing iOS apps to Mac? ARM MacBook is inevitable (unless they switch to AMD).

I find it hard to believe that this ~7“ device with a strange aspect ratio and without a foldable keyboard can replace a $1100 tablet like a Surface Pro or a 12.9“ iPad Pro.
But it can eliminate the need for a tablet that isn't the largest tablet you can get like the ones you listed.
I guess smartphones getting too expensive isn't a thing anymore?

Fun story for you on that: I applied numerous time for their Failure Analysis Engineer, Reliability Engineer, and other similar positions but repeatedly got rejected (or simply ignored by their ATS, I don’t play that keyword game very well). My professional career in Materials Science and Materials Engineering has had a large focus on reliability testing and failure analysis. In parallel with inventing new technologi…
Not a very interesting story, just you complaining about how Apple passed on you with a healthy dose of sour grapes. I know a couple aerospace colleagues who got hired there though. They were well above average mechanical engineers, needless to say Apple's hiring bar is quite high.
Let’s pay 2000 bucks for them.
Also, it’s a fucking joke the idea of charging something else with the phone; Batteries don’t last for the same phone and they pretend that we could charge another device with it?

I am really intrigued when people claim that more students are buying Surfae books than MBPs. Where are those students? Do you have any statistics to back that up or it’s just “anecdata”? If it’s latter then I can add mine here. I have been teaching in 5 countries in 3 continents over the past several years and I teach subjects that require coding. I have to go around the class helping students out on their laptops.…
Did you see a trend with the type of class, did the PhD classes have a Different distribution or was it other factors that affected it
Is that a huge notch in the upper right corner of the "tablet" screen?
Watching videos, reading ebooks or browsing websites on a large screen is the first use I can think of for this screen.
