Sorry to nitpick, just remembered because I read his article with a description of the three versions the other day
Reports show that Dasung didnt implement the HDMI idea too well, you still need additional software and usb cables. Here are 2 reviews

Although according to the link mdp just posted, nate's second review tends to be a bit more generous than his first one but not good enough for the reasons I mentioned above. And then there's the price, 800-900$ for a device that can only act as a monitor only is ridiculous in my opinion. Even moreso when it's half assed. I do however wonder, if it can act as a stand-alone monitor and not just as a mirroring device.

Is not the Carta2 expected?
If it has a HDMI input, problem solved.
If it does not, it will at least have a better CPU.
Of which it is expected:
- that it has at least even a minimal GPU, which enables to compile GL in the system, without which modern remote desktop techniques (NX, TeamViewer) do not even start, and
- that it has a bit more power (performance, cores) than the current, and since screen mirroring (remote desktop: VNC) consumes more than the current CPU capacity (say, roughly double), the current processor is a bottleneck.
I'm sorry, I was saying whether you expect a better device than the upcoming Max 2 in the near future. I really hope they implement the hdmi idea well unlike Dasung. Another requirement in my opinion should be that it has some type of monitor mode where it doesn't deplete the battery when used as such.
