The folio was more potent than this. It could have actually worked on its own if not for Palm leadership being fearful of undermining their handset sales.
Frankly the Foleo may well have been the first Netbook, to more of a work device than the Asus EEEPC was.
This is honestly the more interesting answer. Having a little device with a portable screen, keyboard and mouse that you can attach to various RPI as needed. As for price how about a nexdock that has a port where you can stick a Pi Zero in or even just include a Pi Zero, I would be happy to pay $5 more for it?
Edit: Just wanted to call out this line from the above article.

The market has a problem and this was a solution. The phone /laptop isn't really a problem that people need solving. But the Pi owners have a problem they need solved.
Just imaging a Pi with a USB-C port connected to one of these laptops via just 1 wire.
You can buy a MHL adapter and a Bluetooth keyboard for $lessmoney, if you are looking to hook an Android phone, though it won't have that laptop form factor. I've done that, and the Android interface doesn't translate well. There's a reason all their screenshots show Windows 10, because there's actual specific accommodations for that in the operating system.
I'm not saying this to be down on their project; I think it's neat. You can run other things on an Android phone, so I am nitpicking.
These windows mobiles need portable screens - basically a screen in a tablet form factor with some kind of kick stand.
I was looking for a product like this a while back to pair with a laptop - for multi screen coding in a hotel room. Couldn't find much. Anyone seen something like this?
I wonder if it presents itself over USB as a USB hub with all of those things plugged into it. It seems that you would get maximum compatibility that way.
