Android has a greatly overhauled desktop mode on the way to replace the current primitive proof of concept in developer options. 6th gen Pixels added hardware-based virtualization support and 8th gen Pixels added USB-C DisplayPort alternate mode. It will all come together soon.

Overhauled desktop mode is already partially shipped as a disabled-by-default feature. Android enables some of it for the Pixel Tablet already but not Pixel phones. We plan to enable the same feature flags for phones too. Either way, it’s an experimental developer option for now.

      Also same. Think I’ll stick with it and my laptop for as long as I can then when the time comes to upgrade one of them see if this will meet my requirements.

      Same. I wasn’t planning to upgrade but if this is remotely useful I can use it to replace my laptop with its’ dying battery. Can also take it on the go with with one of those NexDock laptop shell things.
