Nice; have you considered small form factor laptops, like the GPD mini-laptop or one of those box shaped mini computers? I suppose they make a lot less sense if you have to carry a seperate box around instead of just using your phone.

I explored this idea of substituting my laptop for work (its a giant ~17 incher) with either something small I can carry around with me or something I can just leave locked in my work drawer or something; so I'm excited to talk to someone who had similar ideas and made it work.

I considered many different options and foldable wasn't my first choice either. Initially I waited for Blackberry Key3, when they decided to stop making them to my disappointment. Foldable was my next choice because I really don't want to have a separate device. For a while I lugged my X1 Carbon with me, which is fairly light laptop but when you add charger and the rest of the gear it's not much lighter than any other machine.
