Transform your smartphone into a laptop

For less than $249 one can get a reasonable small notebook that will work in addition to the cell phone. If I plug my phone I get laptop power and access to all data on the phone. If I don't I still can use the phone as a hotspot. On the laptop (which came with Windows) I can run an OS perfectly suited to the laptop.

The value proposition doesn't make sense.

The proposed solution becomes interesting when USB-C becomes mainstream and we can use the laptop as a terminal to whatever the other device is, by piping video, keyboard and trackpad over a single cable. Still, I don't see mass adoption to this except for the maker crowd (it is a hassle to hook up our small devices to monitors and keyboards)

if you read all the igg page, it says they work with displayport, superbook works with displaylink. That makes a huge diference, displaylink uses a percentage of the CPU of the phone, displayport doesn't. and the new samsung s8 is compatible displayport. this mirabook also works with many types of displays, superbook offers just the andromium display...well i think mirabook is quite nice...thats just me.

How does this compare with the Superbook?
