Don't put words in my mouth. I never said being on a laptop is productive - because it fucking isn't. I do all my work on a workstation with 5 monitors with a great mechanical keyboard. Why would I ever use a laptop? Even if I didn't drive to work, I'd rather sleep or read a book than work on a shitty laptop on a train. It's counterproductive is what it is.

>>60600167
Truly the patrician choice (apart from used Thinkpads or Elitebooks) for those on a budget. The display is pretty shit, but IPS upgrade options are available quite cheaply. Running Arch on mine. A new one cost me ~220 € including shipping etc. back in the day. Battery is holding up nicely too. Shame the 4 GB model was never available where I live. Not sure if anywhere in Europe had it.

>>60599667
Waiting for mine to ship. Definitely a dice roll to back it, but so far the reviews have been good.

I don't think it is the right fit for everyone but definitely fills a niche roll for me. Personally I need a device that is convenient to slip in my bag that is more capable than a tablet for when I'm away from my desktop at home and for things I don't want to do on my work laptop.

this.

i can get a used eee pc or ideapad for half that price with better specs and a non-shit keyboard, and it'll serve the exact same purpose, plus those are both abundant enough that if something breaks i can repair it myself.

It's a good idea in theory but the current demand doesn't justify the price point. It's not being marketed as a tiny tablet replacement for facebook/youtube/reddit, it's being marketed for powerusers on the go. And most of them already have a similar device that performs better, costs less, and can be repaired/replaced easily.

Please avoid using the term "photoshop" as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general.

chinkshit isn't just "everything made in china"

even if some fuck over at huelett packard gets all of the company's components from chinese manufacturers, hp has its own standards and will not sell a product that does not meet those standards

chinkshit is what the chinese companies, who have no such standards, peddle directly to consumers. If it has a battery, expect it to blow up. If it has paint, expect to be poisoned with lead. If it has stainless steel, expect it to rust.

You can buy a Thinkpad X201 off of ebay for < $150 that has a nicer keyboard, larger screen, and more powerful CPU. And it is still portable enough to carry around with ease. It's about as small as a computer can be and still get work done on.
