NexDock 2 Turns Your High-End Android Phone or Raspberry Pi into a Laptop for $179

Yes I know it is a Kickstarter project but it is a second iteration done to a higher standard, and they did deliver the first time around to thousands of backers.

The new NexDock unit is a 13.3-inch laptop shell that turns smartphones and small-form factor PCs into fully-fledged computers. The chassis is made from aluminium, a major step up from the cheap plastic-construction of the OG unit. Also benefitting from a notable upgrade is the screen. The NexDock 2 features a 13.3-inch IPS LCD display at full 1080p resolution (and 16:9 aspect ratio).

With no CPU, RAM or graphics to house there’s more room for a beefy battery, which for this model is rated for 38Wh. Built-in speakers, a full-size keyboard, and multi-touch trackpad also feature, as do a wide range of ports and connectivity options, including USB-C in, USB-C charging, and full-size HDMI.

Anything that can be connected to an HDMI in port will, in theory, work with the NexDock too, e.g., Raspberry Pis, small form factor PCs, even FireTV sticks, and games consoles.
