I’ve been hovering over the Lilygo T-Deck or one of its variants for a long time. I’ve used the T-HMI (basically a T-Deck without the keyboard) for a long time in other projects, so I’m sure I could do something with a T-Deck, but I’m just not sure if it’s actually worth the purchase.
It would be really cool to have a slick tiny device with Linux on it, but then again, how much will I really use it?
For now, I dug out an old EEE PC 1005p and put Antix on it. I actually use that one to program while commuting.
I also got the Fairberry keyboard for my phone, so the question is how much usability space there really is between the phone and the EEE PC.
But I just love these sleek small devices with keyboards they used to make in the late 90s to the early 2010s.
Sharp Zaurus PDA
Looks really sharp! Sad that stuff like that isn’t made anymore.
@squaresinger @negativenull PDAs are still made, it’s just that they’re aimed to companies. Specifically for warehouses.
For consumer-focused weird mini PCs there’s only some obscure chinese companies (usually overprized) like GPD and custom made cyberdecks
They are probably getting replaced with 5G capable cell phones
