I would love to, but unfortunately a lot of the laptop hardware is pretty garbage in comparison. I can deal with a slower CPU maybe, but it's the whole stack. The bodies are all cheap plastic. Battery lasts 3 hours. And you have only like 1080p TN panels; nothing OLED or with color accuracy in mind is on these. Similar feelings extend to phones as well.

Consider this: https://puri.sm/products/librem-14. Not plastic. It's 1080p, but for 14" it should be fine for most people. Supports two external 4k screen AFAIK.

I hadn't seen that SKU yet and the aluminum chassis looks good. Comparing Comet Lake to Tiger/Alder Lakes is disappointing for performance/battery/graphics. No USB4/Thunderbolt. The display also doesn't list the sRGB and DCI-P3 color space coverage which I can only assume it is a generic panel with <100% of both and is a complete show-stopper to me. If I wanted a cheap display and instead plug in to nice monitors, I'd just buy a desktop; the screen is probably the most important piece.
