Question about Porsche Design Book One
Do the screen unit and keyboard unit communicate with each other? If the keyboard unit is integrated into a HIFi chain via USB to a DAC, can it be "remote controlled" with the screen part removed?
Helpful answer
No, probably not. The keyboard connected via USB-C cable is also not recognised. But a Bluetooth keyboard should solve the problem.
Helpful answer
Thank you for the info! Bluetooth keyboard definitely does not solve this problem.
If both parts cannot function autonomously, i.e. independently of each other, and at the same time, I see ABSOLUTELY NO benefit in this system. I could just as well continue to use my 10-year-old HP laptop and have to get up and move to the system every time I want to change something in the programme.
A gross oversight in product development! NOBODY thought about how such a device could have been used in practice ALSO, and above all, as an alternative, but simply chose the path of least resistance. Always go with the crowd instead of being truly innovative!
This feature, clever marketing and contacts to relevant trade magazines such as 'Stereo' etc. and the hi-fi and high-end freaks would be lining up. Too bad!
In any case, I would have loved to buy this noble piece as a stylish music server, so that I could browse through the music tracks or operate 'Winamp' from the comfort of my sofa, both as a whole at the location of the system and with the tablet unit disconnected, while the keyboard unit always remains firmly connected to the hi-fi chain (USB>DAC>preamplifier>power amplifier) and external hard drive.
Unfortunately not a purchase!

Is there a notebook with an integrated UMTS modem? If not, in which of the offered notebooks is a modem already installed?
