I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Back in the day there was a phone called motorola atrix 4g, they made a lapdock for it that let you do this. There was also 3d party company that made lapdocks for modern Samsung phones that support Dex, but I'm not sure if they're still aournd.

Some companies still make these but they're not well known since it's such an incredibly niche product:

There isn't much point in having such a low power and utility limited device when a cheap low powered Windows laptop can cost a similar amount and run any Windows app you want.

Yeah that's the one I was thinking about, thanks!
