Hello.
Peace to you.
Here I describe my idea more broadly, and it seems to me that this makes sense. License for the idea of CC0 1.0, if it is needed.
ARM modular desktop PC
As you know, the main computer processors are on the x386 architecture. But for a long time already there are productive ARM processors. They are used in smartphones, tablets, and quite powerful for 3d graphics in compatibility with graphics chips.
So, if develop a single universal case, the size of the start is slightly more than 15.4 "(laptop screen), then it can put a board with the principle of replacing components, as in classic computers - a removable processor, RAM, video accelerator, SSD in the form of simple SD drives, and even with a RAID0 disk array controller (2x64GB flash drive in parallel mode = 128GB double data transfer (bus) drive - DDR principle).
On the body make the technological holes for - the camera main (back cover), front camera (web), microphone, for touchpad (back cover), speakers, mini jack, USB … and at the bottom connector for dock station, for - with additional battery (solution - laptop), and for power transfer and can even data - audio, video …
A person can buy a case, a motherboard, a processor, RAM, a video card, and flash memory, a screen not expensive, and a keyboard with mice - at a minimum. Everything, for him, a personal computer for the office is ready. But since the 4x core ARM processor is not very expensive, it can even play computer games, not top-end graphics.
If you buy a touchpad module on the back cover, you get a tablet, even without a touch screen. Which is cheaper - a 15.4 “touch module, or technically a touchpad? Probably the last one.” Such a solution was already a long time ago in some kind of laptop (placing a touchpad on the laptop’s body (screen), it seems like a copyrite note for lawyers). That is, you can get a 15.4 "tablet similarity and not expensive, but you can also buy a screen with the same body, even with AMOLED® matrix, and a sensor module, as well as more powerful components - which is generally super.
Alas, for mobile, especially top-end smartphone solutions, this is actually not possible - very high density of integration schemes, but if you do not produce more than ergonomic models, then the modular principle can be there, but not from desktop solutions.
That is, to develop a single platform for everyone and to give people the opportunity to upgrade (modules / modules) - both main (CPU, RAM, SSD, Video card) and additional (microphone, cameras, wireless modules …) and even change over time the screen, for a better and optimal solution for yourself.
Saving the Earth’s resources, due to the frequent change of the main bearing parts, as well as the creation of a secondary market for second-hand components - this is a plus. Creating a unique and flexible solution is also a plus, due to the choice from the most inexpensive, and right up to the top solution. Super transformability - from a monoblock PC, like a tablet (with a touchpad), a laptop (in the version with a keyboard dock station, and even with an additional battery), and right up to a steep tablet with all wireless modules, even a cell phone - and this is a very big plus and huge prospects in the market, and already up to mini servers in the top solution. And a small plus - energy saving, ARM solution as you know, always takes less electricity …
I think that such a decision has long been brewing in the market, I just sounded it - it happens that because of many competitions the thread of logic (True way) is lost with the concepts of a common platform, a common standard. If everyone starts to make their own platform for themselves, it will not be for the benefit of consumers, and will result in unjustified competition, and as a result - the inhibition of development.
What program framework can there be for such a solution? From Microsoft® Windows®, Android®, and right up to Linux® of all versions - this question is not relevant now, as decisive.
There is nothing super-grand, but not petty - the market would have universal ARM modular PCs, with a price range from the starting (office), and right up to the TOP (gaming) with a cool audio system. And everything is very promising. And to take into account not yet the cutback of microelectronics, as in modern smartphones, for a limited space (hull) - and other processors, like video cards - more transistors on the crystal, the bus is always developed with a margin.
Thank you for attention.
