Does this exist?

Chris

Here’s another thing that I would like someone to either invent, or let me know exists at a reasonable price…

It’s simple, I own a Desktop and no longer have a Laptop, now I love the specs that I could get in a desktop at a reasonable(ish) price but the thing I miss most about a laptop is facebooking/tweeting/surfing/doing other stuff in front of the TV.

I can tweet and facebook from my phone, but really it is so basic and it sucks, I want full functionality, I want to be able to chat online via facebook whilst watching TV.

Now I don’t want to move the computer into the lounge room, and I don’t want to spend a pile of money getting a laptop, so all I want is basically a tablet style pc type thingy, but without the price tag, that will remotely control my desktop.

So it basically is a screen  and keyboard, it can be an onscreen touch keyboard… maybe… it doesn’t have a hard drive, or a massive processor, it just needs the basics that will be able to control the desktop and therefore use it’s processor and memory etc.

I understand the limitation that someone else won’t be able to use the PC while I’ll on the tablet thingy but that’s cool.

So does this exist with a reasonable price tag?

    You could get one of those mini netbook things like the Asus eePc (or whatever it’s called). A few different companies are producing them now, and most of them are reasonably priced.
    They’re not very powerful, but you’d just be using them for net etc, and wirelessly connecting to the internet (via your desktop).
