Or perhaps you wished you could edit that document with a full keyboard rather than a small touchscreen. With Superbook, you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Superbook is a universal laptop dock that uses the speed and power of your Smartphone and marries it with the display and tactile nature of a laptop. By plugging your phone into this &#8216;skeleton&#8217; laptop, you can use your Smartphone&#8217;s capabilities to transform it into a full functioning laptop. These capabilities would encompass, but are not limited to, cell data, Wifi connectivity, bluetooth functionality, and file sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of the SuperBook is $99. This could provide a innovative avenue for schools, boards, and\/or districts. Every student is in possession of a Smartphone; by putting a collection of Superbooks in classrooms, schools could be combatting the issues of technological inequity, the cost of classroom technology, and wireless infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pitch video can be found on their Kickstarter page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/andromium\/the-superbook-turn-your-smartphone-into-a-laptop-f\/description\">The Superbook &#8211; Turn your Smartphone into a Laptop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual.educ.ubc.ca\/wp\/etec522\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1974\/files\/sites\/1974\/2020\/01\/superbook-andromium-os-2-360x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49156\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted by MET student carlo trentadue on 20\/01\/2020 Have you ever wished you could check those email attachments from a laptop instead of your&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/2020\/09\/05\/superbook-turn-your-smartphone-into-a-laptop\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Superbook \u2013 Turn Your Smartphone into a Laptop<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pitch-pool","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":634,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633\/revisions\/634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
