I see a lot of value with this phone prototype over the laptop version.

It gives a better typing experience than a phone currently does & offers unique controls for apps on the 2nd screen.

Whereas with the laptop version I assume people will be missing their keyboard typing experience or complaining about having to carry around a bluetooth keyboard. I still hope they improve their concept of docking an Android phone & using it as a laptop replacement with a keyboard, mouse & monitor.

Hopefully it makes people watch videos in landscape again & quit recording in portrait mode. That alone would be a win!

- Edit - I just read a better article explaining their keyboard concept for the laptop version. That seems like a slightly better experience than I was imagining. Hopefully it's harder to lose than their pen.
