That's now out of stock, but the touchscreen version is in production and due to ship soon: https://nexdock.com/touch/
I was thinking along the same lines after seeing ETA Prime's review of the new version... what I would love to see is a complete Pinebook pro which could ALSO be connected to by phones or SBCs for use of touchscreen monitor, keyboard and touchpad. You would then have a fully functioning low power laptop to take with you, but when desired, could connect other things to it.. even a powerful NUC.. would be a cleaner solution than the portable monitor and keyboard I have to use currently to make my NUC mobile.. some of them have USB C for monitor so that would help reduce cables. Another thing that would be cool is if the lapdock had it's SBC on a removable card for upgrading. (I know that one is more of a reach.. and over time ports get outdated, but it would potentially give long life the the lapdock.
