The ease and portability are what make me moderately interested. I had kids over the last few years and no longer have a home office. I might get a desk area at some point but the only option is right next to my wife and my time to code would be when she's asleep.

So I plop on the couch with my laptop but the constraints of that setup quickly drain my energy. If I had a quality "multi monitor" setup that is ready any time, anywhere, my productivity would increase, even if the device/process itself isn't better than monitors + i3.

And if that happens, I'll have a happier time coding, probably produce more code, and live a happier life (because currently I am unhappy with my lack of output and that feeds back into my family life). That isn't some magical hope either, the same would happen if I had a multi monitor office again, but buying a single device is easier.

So don't despair, there will be plenty of good outcomes from stuff like this project.
