If I take my tablet and plug in a big screen and keyboard, is it self-hosting as long as the compiler is running on the device?



At that point you might as well just carry around a USB flash drive.

The "computer" is the screen. People buy tablets and laptops because it's a portable screen (that incidentally has a computer inside). They want to be able to take their screen to a hotel room, airport, cafe, etc.


Then I think it will take a long time before we have self-hosting tablets, and we may never get self-hosting phones.
