    If I don’t need to have a screen on the thing, why be constrained to use the laptop form factor at all? That is, in significant part, a product of needing to stick the monitor where it is.

      The best way to type is still with a keyboard. It’s useful to have touchpad for backward compatibility. You need battery, a box to put hardware in and a keyboard, basically that’s a half laptop

    I’ve been messing with compressing down the form of the computer with a vertically stacked battery and mainboard from a framework laptop. It makes it into a nearly wearable form, about the size of an antique casette recorder.

      Amazing! Would pair nicely with xreal glasses as a virtual monitor, assuming it’s got USB-C with DisplayPort. I’ve heard of people using a mini PC like that.

        That’s exactly the use case. I’ve got a well loved pair of NReal air glasses as well as the Xreal Air 2 (pro? I can’t recall).

        Still working out the right way to do keyboard and mouse input for wearable computers like this.
