To the tech community let's stop using the phrase "This is or isn't my daily driver". This is terrible and who should have say three cars in the garage and only use the Prius for Groceries, the Porsche for Highway driving, the the Tahoe for going skiing. That's for rich people, how about having one daily driver like a Subaru to do it all, there should be one device to rule them all not 3 or 7 that's a nightmare scenario when it comes to maintenance costs, upkeep costs, cross device data loss etc

@agx thats awesome but the volume popup or any switch interaction popup on the little screen should be a banner and not lock the entire usage of the device just because the user is changing the volume, imagine a stuck volume command bricking the use if the device too risky

@kyle you guys should sell a dock that works for sure through the purism website and that is tested 8)!
