    Maybe something like a Framework would be appropriate?

    it's closer to my wants, but basic spreadsheets are all my clients need right now and that really doesn't need any more processing power than a phone has. i plug a keyboard and a mouse in and i'm able to work off of there. if i really need to i can cast to a screen, even got a couple usb-C male to hdmi male cables.

    i'm always going to need some kind of non-pocket computer, and the desktops are so much cheaper. and modifiable! my last one lived 16 years as the main PC. I tend to ship of theseus them.
