    I’m laughing at how the promo art depicts this as a perfect wireless device, with no power or HDMI or anything.

    The manufacturers clearly realised if the promo art showed reality, it would be immediately obvious why nobody wants to use a mini-PC as a thick-ass touchpad, with a bunch of cables and junk dragging all over your desk.

      They don’t show it because the weight of the HDMI cable tilts the whole thing upward

          If you have a multitouch trackpad, you can have one flat object that can moan when touched, given appropriate software.

          If you have a pair of Valve’s Index finger-tracking controllers, you can have any object moan when touched, given appropriate software.

        I am glad no one has done that for laptops so far.

        That I know of.

          Though now that you mention it, that’s a good use for the IBM trackpoint.
