Hello Jim,

The 1U server is as close as they will ever get. The main culprit, heat dissipation , some of that stuff gets hot. Plus, the cost to build a system for one user that would be sufficient for a developer (remember they will want all the cool stuff too) is too high given the market for it.

Another idea. Well, it hasn't to be a real Power 10. Emulation is a thing for decades and IBM has decades of experience with microcode. That being said, I assert it's possible to come up with an Intel or ARM based notebook as hardware base, which runs IBM i within an emulation layer with reasonable performance. Including an integrated console. :-)

But I guess this also won't happen. IBM so far avoided this particular pandora's box ever since.
