Hello Mark, first of all I want to thank you, for a starting this project.
Now questions and suggestions.
Will we have a laptop dock?
I don’t see scenarios of usage phone plugged to a bigger screen. At home I have laptop plugged to a 27 inch dell screen, at college we have computers if we need. However it is totally different story with small laptop dock. It can be used for taking notes on the study. Making sketches to explain something. Showing photos on a bigger screen. Better browsing experience. No need for a second sim for tablet/laptop internet.
I made a sketch of how I see it.

Some answers about concept.
Phone call answering options while phone is docked.
Talk via speaker phone as usual on laptops.
Plug earphones with microphone.
Reject a call, unplug phone and recall.
Why not using phone as a touchpad?
The screen will heat up and become uncomfortable to use, also it eats buttery life.
Dream specifications.
11.6 inch IGZO touch display, as it is best energy efficient displays.
360 degrees hinges like in lenova yoga for use as a tablet. (some hardware or software options to switch off keyboard wile it in tablet mode)
Carbon material as it lightest material for a laptop
2 USB 3.0
Sd card slot
HDMI
Keyboard layout as on Lenovo helix
Weight 800 grams (without phone) or less for comfortable function as a tablet.
Optional Wacom Pen
I think such dock could be a selling point by itself.
Thank you for reading and sorry for my broken English.
P.S. Move damn on/off button from top to the right side of a phone.
