Im comfortable with android and a bluetooth keyboard now as I can cast my device to larger screens and have everything backed up immediately

Outside of a cool toy why would I need this?

Wow, that's so cool. Thanks for this worthless device Japan.

I like their language, but writing really is a chore for it.

>>57366536
>>57366553
I just don't see the appeal.

Netbooks are too large to fit in a pocket, or at least too large to be comfortable to leave in a pocket. That makes them, in practice, no more portable than a laptop, so why sacrifice having a decently large display, better keyboard, better pointing devices, etc.?

>>57367202
It's not a netbook.

>that price tag

>>57366653
So it's about the price of an electronic dictionary then.

>>57366665
sad but true

>>57367251
Well I don't know what to call it. A "text-only typing device" like someone else said, I guess, which seems even worse. If I wanted something too big to fit in a pocket to lug around and type stuff on, I'd probably just buy an old ThinkPad. A 90s ThinkPad keyboard will blow away that thin chicklet stuff.

I wish japan was still cool so maybe this stuff could come to other places

>>57367048
Ots still no worth no where near $500

>>57367304
I don't know why you think this is cool
Its a text only device and its 500 fucking bucks

>>57366536
This type of machine is used by many Japanese authors (including light novel authors) for the same reason why Game of Throne's author writes on his old ass Lotus 123. Namely you can't do much except type text and save the output to .txt.

The format came out in late 90s (way before netbooks) and has a niche but stable market among Japanese computer manufactures.

I've been thinking about getting one of those clear green newton message pads for this. Anyone using one?

>>57372047
I meant the newton eMate 300, not the message pad. I have a couple old palms (iii and vi) that I've played around with recently for organizer stuff but switched back to my phone.

use this nigger

or sell your current monitor and get a large format 1080p screen instead

>>57375314
or just use darkroom, writemonkey etc

>>57375586
I'm on win7, and duh I'm aware I can increase text size on 99% of applications (Unity conveniently NOT being one of them...). It doesn't solve the problem, after 6-8 hours I get really bad headaches.

I've tried everything. Low blue light, low brightness, high brightness, high contrast modes, extra readable fonts, regular breaks, etc.

>>57367603
I've actually used one of these. It's basically just a keyboard with a couple of buffers you can write text in. When you get to a PC, you can plug it in via USB or PS/2 and it dumps the buffer onto whatever window you have open. Kind of neat.

>>57367009

You're a fucking idiot if you think there's not a ton of advantages to the lightness and portability of a netbook.

I really want these. Typical Japan being stupidly expensive though. I'm looking at you, Unicorn Walkman.

>>57366653
I'll stick to a memepad with a proper keyboard

Speaking of portable typing devices, anyone feeling the textblade feels? I've got my 1-year order anniversary coming up, and it'll be 2 years pretty soon for the earliest fuckers.

>>57371169
>screwing up the pronunciation because the correct letter isn't manly enough
They're similar sounds but not the same, it's the difference between "th" and "thigh" and "th" in "thy"

>>57366536
a literal netbook can and will do this job better and cheaper with a bigger screen and in a similar, compact form factor
unless it weighs as much as a notebook (like, one made of paper) or the screen is amazing and ridiculously easy on the eyes, there's dick-all point to it

so, fuck this thing

What about a Palm USB cable? I think they made those. Might be able to snag one cheap on eBay.
