May I ask what's the point of attaching a standalone computer to a raspberry pi?

The display and keyboard would be fun to have where I interact with the ras pi directly; I don't need to attach another sbc to a ras pi of course; but where is there such a neat display and keyboard that I could get for a pi? I have several rasp pi, I wish they had an inexpensive display and keyboard like this one. I could use it for commands on the shell.

But it's mostly to play with.

That's just a great form factor! In such a situation, I was thinking you could use the cpu to communicate with the ras pi somehow, ssh into it? It's just a neat form factor with that compact keyboard and display, using such little power.

By itself it's fun too, but I'm not going to do much assembly work, not doing anything that takes soldering. I'm just terrible at that kind of stuff. If I could buy a complete little computer like that, with some kind of storage maybe, it would be neat. I didn't understand how much effort it would take to get an actual working system that I could type on like the original poster.
