Wireless workstation project idea

[Murdoch_ofTheBlackSea]

I have always had an idea that linus came very close to with his home computer scheme. Basically take the peripherals and jam them into a laptop form factor and have the data for the peripherals go over wifi.  Basically all the benefits of mobility within the house and the high power of the desktop with long battery life and low heat, as you only really need enough power to accept and transmit the peripherals data.  I know there are wifi hdmi adapters, wifi mice and keyboards and more. This would make it so Yvonne and Linus can be anywhere in their house and use the computers in the server room, opening the extra room, as long as the server room can't be accessed by small humans easily with the advent of a lock. 

 

Just an idea that I have had that I think Linus could pull off.

100ms delay time lmao?

Maybe, maybe not, a single hop to a wifi card would be good enough for a workstation. Many businesses have you log into a virtual machine and work from that if you work from home, and that goes through the internet at large, 9nstead of directly to a server in your building.

Some 5Ghz transfer device not using 802.11 protocols can cut down the delay a lot.

Mind, I'm not talking about good enough to game, though you could have a port on this black box that is attached to an internal thunderbolt box like the ones already in use in Linus's setup, allowing for such speeds in certain locations in the house. That might be a real challenge though, forcing everything to switch over relatively seamlessly.
