Are there other products on the market right now that lets us detach the screen off the laptop and still use the keyboard and the touchpad wirelessly?

#13This is gonna be such a big deal when Apple invents it in 5 years. Can't wait for the MacBook Pro Duo.

There have been various rumblings about a "foldable MacBook" in development, I really hope it works a lot like this and not like a foldable phone with a giant crease.
They're pretty conservative on the types of products they launch and careful enough to not pollute their existing line-up with whacky products that don't fit with their vision of how a product should be used or if it would cannibalize their other products.
Their MacBooks still don't have a touchscreen even though they could easily add a touch digitizer for almost no cost at all but they just don't want to mix touch with laptops for some reason, unlike the PC laptop makers who seem to have no issue adding that.

Right, I posted yesterday about using an iPad as a 2nd monitor for nomads [1]. I understand a cheaper alternative is using a USB-C external display. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38957035

#18The hardware looks amazing. But I imagine from my experience with Asus that the software is subpar.

#19Why does ASUS hate GPUs? They got rid of anything above a 4070 in the 2024 models of the G series. And this is a dual 120Hz OLED screen device powered by an Intel ARC integrated GPU?!

#20Also, does the keyboard charge automatically when connected? Or does it have to be charged separately?
