It really looks like a laptop, but it’s actually a 14″ 1920 x 1280 monitor and USB keyboard in a laptop form factor.
There is also an integrated trackpad, speakers and mic, and a rechargeable battery. That makes it capable of providing its own power, and it can even function as a power bank in a pinch. There’s an HDMI input on one side, and on the other is a full-featured USB-C port that accepts video input via the DisplayPort altmode.

What is the difference between this and the NexDock (https://nexdock.com/) I can use it with an SBC or my Pixel 8 as external display
I like the idea of this, but I don’t think it’s something that’ll end up on my workbench.
I often need VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, and/or HDMI depending on what I’m working with. Granted, there are passive DVI -> DisplayPort -> HDMI adapters that should work with this, but as a dedicated KVM device, you’d think it’d have options for them. VGA would require an active adapter, so I can overlook that as an integrated option, but it would be nice and not too much hassle to include since, again, it’s a single-purpose device.
Plus, my workbench is already crowded, lol. Would also be nice if it had an internal SBC or Framework-style motherboard that could be selected as an input device.

So, a laptop? 😆
Well, a laptop with a bunch of connectivity.
I wanted something like this 15 years ago. I’m sad that I didn’t get one while I was still spending time in data centers instead of working with VPSes.
Yeah, same.
We still have an IPKVM at work, but it hardly gets used these days since all of our servers now have iLO or iDRAC with remote console.
