Ask HN: Are there “Laptops” that just take HDMI and USB input?

1 point·Jonnax··3 comments

So I was wondering if there are any types of laptop style docks.

Where you can have a desktop in another room but use it with a 10 metre hdmi cable and usb cable for keyboard and trackpad?

The use case seems a bit niche so I was wondering if anyone has seen any products that do this or have tried them

Perhaps you are looking for something like the Intel NUC devices? https://www.newegg.com/intel-bxnuc10i7fnh1/p/N82E16856102227...

A chrome book with nx-windows could do the trick.

Alternatively yes - there's http://nexdock.com/ and similar products.

I think you want a "KVM"
