You can do this already with the normal PinePhone. It is just a bit too slow to be really usable. This PinePhonePro might just barely be usable for light desktop tasks (The PineBookPro is mostly usable for light desktop tasks).
I'm really looking for a powerful Linux phone for convergence too... And I have to say, whilst I applaud this update, 4GB still seems a bit anaemic for that purpose.
They've got an 8GB SBC - I wonder why they didn't develop that for a really competitive device?
