There is also a need to CPU + dedicted customized OS that turns the tablet into a graphics computer (e.g. running X window) and taking compressed commands from the USB directly.
weelll... the first easily-achievable way to do that is to use any SoC with USB-OTG. the other way is using a DisplayLink IC. but, both ways _do_ need some amounts of RAM otherwise you severely saturate the USB bus and/or overload the main processor. DisplayLink's first IC does very basic 2D primitives (line, rectangle, image) which is a half-way compromise. the second (which is USB3) i don't know exactly what they do.
... yes been thinking quite a lot how to do this, joe :)
