Motorola Atrix 4G review: The laptop-dock phone that imagined desktop convergence.
The phone-as-PC dream.
Motorola Atrix 4G imagined desktop convergence a decade before Samsung DeX — slot it into the Webtop laptop dock and it became a full Firefox desktop. It also had a fingerprint sensor in 2011. Ahead of its time, even if the execution was clunky.
