LLL_My vision of a 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid







My vision of a  15.6 inches  Linux  

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE)

hardware specifications










1.  Screen size :   15.6 inches (minimum)
                        Why  15.6  inches [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
                                 Computer hardware with  15.6 inches screen
                                 [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
                                 Taste is individual . Some consumers like 
                                  15.6 inches screen size .

                               17 inches
                                Computer hardware with  17 inches  screen
                                [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
                                Taste is individual . Some consumers like 
                                 17 inches screen size .

                               18 inches
                               Computer hardware with  18 inches  screen
                                [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
                                Taste is individual . Some consumers like 
                                18 inches screen size .

                                 
                                
                        
2.  Physical Appearance :   The 15.6 inches  Linux OS
Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE)  can have the physical appearance of a Laptop or it can have the physical appearance of a Tablet or it can have the physical appearance of a Smartphone .

IF  THE  15.6 INCHES  LINUX  LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE(ALL-in-ONE)  LOOKS LIKE A LAPTOP , it should have at least a  15.6 inches  screen size and the 15.6 inches   Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  
should be foldable 360 degrees OR 
the keyboard should be detachable so that it can be turn into a Linux Tablet or a 
Linux Laptop
Below are examples of computer hardware that are foldable 360 degrees and computer hardware with detachable keyboard : 
1.   SONY Vaio Duo 13  13.3 inches 
2.   LENOVO Yoga 500  15.6 inches 
3..    ASUS Transformer 3 12.6 inches 
4.   Microsoft Surface Book 13.5 inches

Another reason the keyboard should be detachable  ,  IF IT LOOKS LIKE A LAPTOP , is because when there is an  incoming call  on the  15.6 inches  Linux OS   Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   hybrid , the user can detach the keyboard from the  15.6 inches display and take the 15.6 inches  display with them and walk to another room within Wi-Fi distance and talk in private ............ eventhough the  15.6 inches Linux OS   Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   hybrid    (which is connected to a docking station) is doing something in the background , for example :

  • uploading a 4 GB video file from the Internet
  •  uploading a huge file or a collection of files above 10 GB from the Internet
  • printing 50-100 pages of documents to a USB printer
  • watching YouTube/Videos/Movies
  •  hard disk drive cloning using USB port (work with Windows OS and Linux OS only)
  •  transferring files from one computer to another using USB port  [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]   (work with Windows OS only)
  •  transferring files from one computer to another using Ethernet cable or Wireless
  • installation of application software for example ,  Adobe Photoshop ,  Microsoft Visual Studio , Microsoft Visual Basic , Microsoft  Office , etc.   (work with Windows OS only)
  • installation of CAD programs  (work with Windows OS and Linux OS only)


IF THE  15.6 INCHES  LINUX  LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE  HYBRID  LOOKS LIKE A TABLET , it should have at least a  15.6 inches screen size and it should have at least  3 units of full-size  USB 2.0  or  3 units of full-size  USB 3.0  and all the necessary hardware specifications mentioned below .

IF THE  15.6 INCHES  LINUX  LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE  HYBRID  LOOKS LIKE A  SMARTPHONE , it should have at least a  15.6 inches screen size .
As of today , 26th.October2018 , big screen Smartphones is only
6 inches or  7 inches  screen size .
Could you imagine  a  15.6 inches  Smartphone ?
Nowadays making a phone call with a  10.1 inch Tablet or  10.8 inch Tablet or  12.2 inch Tablet or  12.9 inch Tablet is normal 
BUT USING A  15.6 INCHES  SMARTPHONE  OR  15.6 INCHES  TABLET TO MAKE A PHONE CALL MAY SOUND  UNORTHODOX .
A good implementation  for a  15.6 inches  Smartphone is to increase the current screen size of Smartphones from  6 inches or  7 inches  to  15.6 inches .  There is nothing wrong with having  15.6 inches  Smartphones .  If we can have  15.6 inches  Laptops in the market then having  a  15.6 inches  Smartphone in the market today can be accepted especially when the  15.6 inches  Smartphone is thin and light and sleek  and slim  and  the  15.6 inches  Smartphone can  function like a  Laptop , can function like  a  Tablet and can function like a PC  just like   a  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   hybrid that I envisioned .          
The  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid should have at least  3 units of full-size  USB 2.0  or  3 units of full-size  USB 3.0  and all the necessary hardware specifications mentioned below .
Another good  implementation for a  15.6 inches  Smartphone is the dual screen foldable design adopted  by a hardware/software
manufacturer named  ZTE .  A good example of the dual screen foldable design Smartphone is the  ZTE Axon M  Smartphone  by  ZTE  [ 1 2 3 ] .  The  ZTE Axon M  Smartphone dual-screen opens to  6.8 inch diagonal display but the  Linux OS  Smartphone which I envisioned ,  the dual-screen opens to  15.6 inch  diagonal display.  It is really fascinating to see when the 15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  which have the physical appearance of  a  Dual-Screen Smartphone and when the dual-screen opens , it opens to a  15.6 inch  diagonal display  


Regardless whether the 15.6 inches Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  looks like a Laptop or it looks like a Tablet or it looks like a  Smartphone , regardless whether the 15.6 inches Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   is thin or light or sleek or slim , the 15.6 inches Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid must have at least 3 units of full-size USB port .  Having 3 units of full-size USB port in a  15.6 inches  Linux   Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid is very useful .  Firstly ,  we can use the 15.6 inches Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid for hard disk drive cloning .  Secondly , we can use the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  to  install other Operating System .  But before the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid can do hard disk drive cloning and install other Operating System , there must be a UEFI/BIOS  present or installed on the System Board of the  15.6 inches  Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid .  For the hard disk drive cloning process , 1 unit of full-size USB port is connected to an external DVD-RW drive (so that  we can insert a bootable Live CD like Clonezilla for cloning purposes) and the other 2 units of full-size USB port is connected to the SOURCE hard disk drive and the TARGET hard disk drive .  There are many solutions out there that can clone a hard disk drive without using a PC or a Laptop but if we can do with it a  15.6 inches  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid
it would be great and it is definitely a bonus . 

P.S.  Let us say for the sake of elegance , or appearance , or 
        because the  hardware/software  manufacturer want to make
        the 15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid
        thin  and  light and sleek and slim and they decided not to
        include USB ports inside the  15.6 inches Linux
        Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid , then the
        hardware/software  manufacturer can always use a 
        docking station and put all the necessary ports inside the
        docking station .  
         




Processor/microprocessor :   INTEL Core i7 or a combination of INTEL Core i7 with QUALCOMM Snapdragon 835 , that means , 2  processors in one machine like a dual processor system , just like in the PC environment . Mixing 2 different  processors/microprocessors  architecture   is an engineering challenge for computer design engineers [1] . But if if is possible , the benefits are
worth it . The combination of INTEL i7 processor and Snapdragon 835 processor should make the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid or the  15.6 inches  Linux Cellular Laptop  an incredible multitasking machine , so , when doing  multitasking jobs like below , the  15.6 inches  Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  do not   stutter/lag/slowdown/hang/crash .  

  •  making a phone call   (Snapdragon 835)
  •  receiving a phone call  (Snapdragon 835)
  •  sending sms , WhatsApp , WeChat , Instagram , etc.  (Snapdragon 835)
  •  connecting to Wi-Fi  (Snapdragon 835)
  •  high-speed Internet access using 4G LTE network  (Snapdragon 835)
  •  connecting to Bluetooth devices  (Snapdragon 835)
  •  recording videos with rear facing camera  (Snapdragon 835) 
  •  uploading a 4 GB video file from the Internet  (INTEL i7)
  •  uploading a huge file or a collection of files above 10 GB from the Internet  (INTEL i7)  
  •  watching YouTube/Videos/Movies  (INTEL i7)
  •  hard disk drive cloning using USB port  (INTEL i7)
  •  transferring files from one computer to another using USB port  [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]   (work with Windows OS  only)  [INTEL i7]
  •  transferring files from one computer to another using Ethernet cable or Wireless  (INTEL i7)
  •  using USB port to connect to a External USB  DVD-RW  drive to watch DVD movies  (INTEL i7) 
  •  using USB port to connect to a External USB Blu-ray drive to watch Blu-ray movies  (INTEL i7)
  •  using USB port to connect to  USB Printers for printing  (INTEL i7)
  •  using USB port to connect to USB Scanners for scanning of documents  (INTEL i7)
  •  using USB port to connect to Digital Camera for backup and restore and other things .  (INTEL i7) 
  •  using USB port to connect to USB TV Tuner  (INTEL i7)
  •  installation of CAD programs for Linux Operating System and running CAD programs for Linux Operating System  (INTEL i7)
                

                ALL THESE TASKS MENTIONED ABOVE  WHEN
                SELECTED AT RANDOM , THE 15.6 INCHES
                LINUX  LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE
                HYBRID SHOULD BE ABLE TO
                PERFORM SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHOUT
                THE SYSTEM STUTTER OR LAGGING OR
                SLOWING DOWN OR HANGING OR CRASH
                
                         
Linux Operating System :  Ubuntu  or   Knoppix
                                                                           


GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) :
      Integrated INTEL HD Graphics 5500 or  NVIDIA GeForce
      GT940M  2GB  or  QUALCOMM  Snapdragon 835 
     A strong GPU so that the display is very responsive , browsing
      the web is fast and casual games can be played  [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]



Display Resolution :  minimum  1920X1080 pixels
Full HD .  Touchscreen Technology .


Display Technology :  TFT or LED or whatever .  
           Most important , the  15.6 inches Linux
           Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid
           screen/display  should be able to see in bright sunlight .
           

Camera :  Front Facing Camera 5 megapixels minimum
                        Rear Facing Camera 8 megapixels minimum with
                        autofocus (SONY-made)

I STILL THINK A GOOD QUALITY FRONT FACING CAMERA AND A GOOD QUALITY REAR FACING CAMERA IS A NECESSITY FOR TAKING DECENT QUALITY PHOTOS AND DECENT QUALITY VIDEOS IN A  15.6 INCHES  LINUX LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE   HYBRID .



 be present on the System Board so that we can do hard disk drive cloning and  install  other Operating System on the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid .
To install other Operating System  on the  15.6 inches  Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid ,  the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid should have at least ,  fullsize USB 2.0 port or full size USB 3.0 port to be able to do this . 1  unit of full size USB 2.0 port or 1 unit of  full size USB 3.0 port is connected to a DVD-RW drive and the
 other full size USB 2.0 port (or USB 3.0 port) is connected to a
 USB Flash Drive or External USB Hard Disk Drive . Then insert a
 Live DVD (Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.1 or Linux OS Ubuntu 17.10 )
 to begin the software installation on the USB Flash Drive or  External USB Hard Disk Drive . BECAUSE OF THE MULTITASKING NATURE OF THE  15.6  INCHES  LINUX LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE  HYBRID COMPUTER  HARDWARE ,  installation of other Operating System  like  Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.1  or  Linux OS  Ubuntu  17.10  on the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  does not override the existing hard disk drive OS which is inside the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid .  The only snag when installing other OS  is , the  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid cannot make telephone calls and receive telephone calls , cannot send and receive sms , cannot WhatsApp , cannot WeChat , cannot
Instagram , etc., etc.  After the other  OS installation is complete  and after we have  reboot/restart the 
 15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid then only we can use the  15.6 inches  Linux   Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone  hybrid  just like an ordinary  Android 
Smartphone ,  just like an ordinary Windows Smartphone .  Now , we can make phone calls , we can receive phone calls , we can send sms , we can WhatsApp , we can WeChat , we can watch YouTube/Videos/Movies , we can connect to printers , we can connect to scanners , and a long list of everything the PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   can do ……..…….. we can also do with our  15.6 inches  Linux  Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone   hybrid .

P.S.       THESE HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS MENTIONED
              ABOVE LOOKS INSANE FOR A COMPUTER
              HARDWARE BUT THIS IS THE KIND OF MACHINE I
              HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR . WITH THE ABOVE
              MENTIONED HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS , THE
              15.6 INCHES  LINUX
              LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE   IS
              GOING TO BE  SLIGHTLY THICKER AND SLIGHTLY
              HEAVIER BUT  THEN THE HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
              MANUFACTURER WOULD HAVE A REAL WINNER
              HERE BECAUSE IT IS A WELL ROUNDED
              MACHINE FOR WORK AND PLAY AND THIS IS THE
              DEVICE FOR EVERYTHING . IT IS A VERY GOOD
              SOLUTION , I ONLY CARRY ONE DEVICE AND I DO
              NOT HAVE TO CARRY SO MANY DEVICES FOR MY
              LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE NEEDS . I DO NOT
              HAVE TO CARRY 3 ITEMS . I ONLY CARRY 1 ITEM .
              I  ONLY CARRY ONE UNIT OF 15.6 INCHES  LINUX
              LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE  HYBRID .
              ANYWAY ,  IT IS MANY TIMES
              BETTER TO CARRY THIS THAN TO CARRY THIS
              IF THERE IS A HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
              MANUFACTURER THAT IS WILLING TO MAKE
              THIS KIND OF DEVICE , IT IS WORTH WAITING
              FOR . I THINK THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT
              DIRECTION .
              I THINK THIS IS THE FUTURE .
              
               IF THERE IS NO  HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
              MANUFACTURER  WILLING TO MAKE THIS
              15.6 INCHES   LINUX
              LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE   HYBRID ,  FOR
              SOME REASON ,  WHICH  I  AM NOT AWARE  OF ,  I
              HOPE SOMEBODY IN THE  NERD  LAB  1 ]
              WILL  MAKE  ONE .   

              RADIATION FROM CELLPHONES .  KEEP
              CELLPHONES OR SMARTPHONES OR
              CELLULAR LAPTOP A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY
              WHEN USING IT .  AVOID PROLONG USE OF THE
              DEVICE .  [ 1 2 3 ]

  1. Emulated storage works to express an actual file path against the symlink of your device’s storage. It can express both the internal memory and the external SD card. A symlink is used in computing to expressed to mean a symbolic link.

    When you go to transfer your files from the pen drive to your Android device or move files from one type of storage to the other, you might see an emulated storage folder is being shown as the main folder.So, what is storage emulated meaning on Android?

    You might be wondering what it is and why it is shown when it was supposed to show internal storage or external storage card name. Well, in this article, we are going to tell you more about this emulated storage and also what does different kinds of emulated storage mean on Android.
