I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing (www.zdnet.com)

Docks are pretty great now.

I have a dock at home and at work. Single cable to plug in and get proper peripherals, 2 + 1 monitors, and power.

It's nice to be able to undock and go sit in a Cafe to read emails or do whatever you don't need full regalia for.

I can see this working on a smaller form factor.

Yeah, I’ve been pretty happy with my usb-c dock. Although randomly I stopped being able to use all the usb ports on it at the same time. I wonder if the cable is failing.

But it’s been super useful and I don’t mind buying a new one down the line.
