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

A Nokia N900 with modern specs and capacitive touchscreen.

Oh man. That phone introduced me to the linux ecosystem at the tender age of 16. I learned to write python, C, and the concept of "on device development". You could write apps in whatever language you wanted whilst in the backseat of a roadtrip across Europe (I was a seriously antisocial teen). Plus FM transmitter.

The best successor I've seen is the FX-tech Pro phone, but given it's costly price, it's just not worth it. I got my N900 for £230, but the FX-tech Pro is asking for more than double that...

The PinePhone is a bit similar, a hackable linux phone but it appears to be much less daily usable and doesn't have the awesome slider keyboard..
