Re: Why some people keep on reinventing the ill-fated Palm Foleo?
Exactly, as something to drag out to the datacentre, to save trailing a monitor around with you. But my ideal device would be an actual laptop that could do the same thing.
Turn up at a borken server, flick a switch on your laptop and you have your own KVM setup.
I think the Lenovo Ideapad Y730 (the old one, not the entirely different model using the same number) could do this, at least as far as the display was concerned. The VGA port has an "in/out" switch. Unfortunately the display harness in mine is bad, so I can't test it out.
