Establishing a remote desktop

A notebook computer system comprising:

• a base device and a satellite device that operate in an attached state as a notebook with the satellite device physically attached to the base device and that operate in a detached state with the satellite device being a tablet that is physically detached from the base device, wherein the base device comprises a power connection, a processor, memory, and a keyboard, wherein the satellite device comprises a battery, a processor, memory and a touch screen display, wherein the base device is configured with an IP base address, wherein the satellite device is configured with an IP satellite address, wherein in the attached state the base device communicates the IP base address and an IP server address to the satellite device, and wherein the satellite device stores the IP base address and the IP server address to its memory;
• circuitry that responds to a transition from the detached state to the attached state by establishing a wired communication session between the base device and the satellite device and by transitioning the notebook computer system from use of both the IP base address and the IP satellite address to use of the IP base address to maintain a connection between the base device and a server associated with the IP server address via a wireless communication network;
• circuitry that responds to a transition from the attached state to the detached state by transitioning the notebook computer system from use of the IP base address to use of both the IP base address and the IP satellite address wherein, responsive to the transition from the attached state to the detached state, the satellite device searches its memory for the IP base address and the IP server address to establish, via a wireless IP protocol, wireless communication sessions with the base device and with the server while maintaining the connection between the base device and the server;
• and
• circuitry that communicates information, via the established wired communication session in the attached state and via the established wireless communication session between the base device and the satellite device in the detached state, from the base device to the satellite device for rendering the communicated Information to a display of the satellite device.
