Your entire PC could soon be a mouse

[GreyBush]

That's retarded... you still need a monitor and a keyboard.

Much more logical to use your phone as a PC and connect wireless I/O peripherals to it.

This almost already happened. See Nextbook - full PC machine, HDMI output. Just add 3G and phone dialer.

Complementary idea is to use USB stick and plug it to the monitor. http://iotsolutionsalliance.intel.c...s-compute-stick-intel®-atom™-processor-z3735f

Hmm'

Maybe turn the mouse upside down, attach a touch sentive flat screen and we could call it, A TABLET.

Apple will be late to the party and call it an ipad.

The monitor has a small rack of servers in it, and the keyboard has a NAS in it, serving as your off-mouse backup location.

This is the dumbest idea i have ever heard.
They should rather try and build the computer inside the keyboard, at least it does not move that much and has much more space for ports.

you mean like a laptop ?

 

[porchrat]

Why the hell would I want a pc in a mouse???

I like that I get to choose and swap what peripherals I use with my computer, I don't want my peripherals to be the computer.

I'm all for making my pc components smaller without sacrificing capabilities so that I can fit the pc into an ever smaller and smaller area but this mouse thing seems so silly.

Q. My mouse seems to be getting a bit hot.
A. Try reducing the number of applications you have open.

*Sigh.*
Another gimmick.

Full-scale OS on smartphone sounds more sensible than this.

That would make it a very small tablet pc.

It is. Look at system requirements for Windows XP, now look at modern smartphone specs...
Fascinating.

Wireless HDMI how far are we on this technology ?

We've been having it!

Commodore 64 , have one the closet behind the chair I'm currently sitting in, think we got it in 1983...

Hmmmmmmm...

Hmmmmmmm...

Yes, but can it run Crysis... or Windows even, lol

 

[Impulse_One]

Pffft, Crysis-shmasis! Can it run Watch Dogs?

 

[HavocXphere]

How do you upgrade it? Or cool it nicely?

Those two things are what will make me stick with a box for now

 

[Bryn]

What an awful idea. Too little space to fit decent hardware in, you'll be stuck with the same mouse for as long as you own the PC and peripheral support will necessitate a mini PC sized adapter anyway.
