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.
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.
