Now, Shakespeare isn't normally my thing. Actually it's never my thing. I despise the man, but that's not what this post is about. I've just discovered how I plan to design my convergence device: A phone, "convertible", and a ultimate desktop behemoth. And that discovery is: A BIOS. Yes! Why didn't I think of this before? Instead of trying to figure out how a tablet/ultrabook/convertible thing will take advantage of full blown desktop quality hardware in duality with it's already functioning hardware, why not just boot the desktop components from the device's storage?!
It's brilliant! It's a amazing! It's alive!! Alive, I say! Currently, I can only see this working with a full blown ultrabook or convertible device. So, until I do more research or experimentation, basic pads or phones, or padfones (Eh? See what I did there?...) are out of the equation. Anyway, here's the idea.
As before a large phablet is the main device for day-to-day work. A Galaxy Note 2 (or 3?) will run Android and Ubuntu for Android (UFA) or Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu with a Smart Dock to book into the desktop function.
Then a Surface Pro, or similar device, is powered by similar OS specifications. Same as previous posts.
The clincher now is the at-home desktop design. Here, a modified Surface Pro is somehow tethered to a practically complete desktop except for a hard drive (or SDD/whatever.). Instead of this computer booting off of a internal drive like normal, it boots from the storage in the Surface Pro and... Bada bing! Bada boom! Perfect convergence! There's no syncing (Phone aside), no special software, no special modding of OS's work together as one computer on different computers- Yada yada.
It's the perfect idea. True, I have yet to figure out how to tether the convertible/ultrabook/tablet, but that will probably be solved soon enough. I'm thinking a split SATA cable with a modded port on the side of the device. As any idea of a thunderbolt, usb, or firewire would require a controller on the motherboard of the device. Maybe not? Sure. It will take experimentation.
Anyway, just wanted to update on my discovery. Maybe this discovery will never be put to place as a brand new thing arrives. I never know in the world of technology. So, thanks for following and I can't wait to share the next discovery or final product with you! But by God! This will happen even if
...Hell and night
Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light!
