    Why would you want that though?

    Not being funny, I have honestly never seen a good use case for a touchscreen that’s too big to fit in your pocket a la your phone and isn’t better served by a mouse & keyboard or a remote like a TV.

      I have an 8" tablet that I like because it’s a lot more portable than a full laptop, and I can rotate it, and it’s got a larger screen than my phone. Just the other day I was using it to study for a class I’m taking, and it worked wonderfully for that. And I’m sure artists love them for digital art work, especially with larger screens.

      I’ve used 2-in-1 laptops, and I wasn’t a fan because they’re awkward due to the weight, and sometimes they don’t shut off all the buttons on the keyboard part. And you can’t always take off the keyboard to mitigate those issues.
