How can there be demand for something that doesn't exist?

If Apple releases a $300 lapdock tomorrow, basically a screen, keyboard, battery, that allows using your iPhone as a normal general purpose computer with OSX - why would anyone buy a laptop/desktop?



Why would anyone buy that instead of Macbook Neo for $600? Macbook doesn't need a iPhone to use.

If you are doing serious work, which are the people who want a dock, then you need the power of Macbook Air or Macbook Pro.

For most people, iPad or iPad Air with keyboard is a better option since you get tablet for fun and can do some light work.
