This use case would be possible if Google didn't explicitly disable USB-C video output: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/03/pixel-4-has-usb-video-output-disabled-in-software/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/03/pixel-4-has-usb-vid... (As far as I'm aware, they still do this on Pixel 6.) I already use my laptop as a desktop when I'm at home by connecting it to a USB-C hub, which in turn connects it to my monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. I think the smartphone as a "single device which can be used for everything" is a cool concept and definitely possible considering how powerful modern smartphones are. The limitation is software.

This idea is cool, but I already have a seamless experience of moving to different devices through my day and having access to everything I need. It is stuff like O365, Github, OneDrive, AWS etc that enable that. No plugging in, no reconfiguring devices. Moving between windows 11, android and debian everything I want is right there. I can't see the advantage, yet, of trying to consoldate down to one device.

  You wouldn't even need centralized services to do this properly. Just bring back the old "My Briefcase" UI for device syncing, now additionally backed by a git repository for history, "fork" and "merge" support.
