Yeah. This would be great if it could emulate usb storage, do transparent bridging via switch vlans, support serial consoles, etc, but it is just a case, battery, disk, and bad keyboard.
There's nothing particularly stopping you implementing at least most of that in software if you want. Stick a suitably-programmable switch in and you could do the rest too.
Exactly my point - this project seems of limited usefulness because it could have done a lot more but didn’t add much utility that a pi+screen+keyboard doesn’t already have.
