There's a lot of reasons I think this is going to be a badass system, but I note that the upcoming Minisforum V3 tablet has DisplayPort-IN, and I think this should just be a semi-standard capability everywhere.

With USB4 especially, it's like: these computers have crazy huge bidirectional throughput. Why why why would we not have one of the most obvious easy to do pipes, a way to let video data in?

Because HDMI and DisplayPort use HDCP to prevent us from copying the data we're viewing for future use. I'm interested in how the tablet is going to work with HDCP as the whole point of closing the analog hole goes away if I can...

Oh, it's just a passthrough.
