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

Some companies still make these but they're not well known since it's such an incredibly niche product:

There isn't much point in having such a low power and utility limited device when a cheap low powered Windows laptop can cost a similar amount and run any Windows app you want.

Plus if you just want to sync data there are already plenty of cloud based and data syncing services that can fulfill that without needing a phone laptop.

That said with USB C based devices in theory you should be able to use use an adapter in order to plug in an hdmi, and mouse and keyboard(or use a bluetuth one)
