I'd suggest either a ~12" laptop or some Blackberry phone if BBOS or Android is fine. Anything between those is just awkward to type on because it's too small for regular touch-typing with all fingers and too big for typing with thumbs.

Yeah, but what extra use do you get out of that? Physical keyboard I can understand. I'm still clinging to my passport. But why do you need/want to use desktop applications/ui on such a small device? I really can't understand what you get out of that. Please explain

>>61095734
it's clearly overprized but on the other hand they can be like that because of the lack of competitors.

>>61095336

Almost all phones have unlockable bootloaders you fucking moron. The reason you can't put Linux on them is drivers.

>>61095780
>Yeah, but what extra use do you get out of that?

>>61095803
>Almost all phones have unlockable bootloaders
Bullshit
>also, linux is a pain to use on devices without keyboard
Yeah, that's why I want a keyboard.
It's the same as Android without a physical keyboard.

>>61095830
Idk, I can do that from my phone via ssh.
Not a weeb though, maybe thats the problem?

>>61095831
>What are you capable of doing on a 5-6 inch device with full linux that you can't do on an android?

>>61095857

Your time must be worthless.

>>61095857
Sorry, didn't read the testing before deployment part, that could actually be a usecase but I don't think I would like to type long scripts on a tiny keyboard.

>>61095852
>>Almost all phones have unlockable bootloaders
>Bullshit
Okay nigger here's a list for you
Phones with bootloaders that can be looked and verified boot is even supported for third party operating systems:
Nexus 5x
Nexus 6p
Pixel
Pixel XL

Also note how none of these devices runs native linux (only chroot) despite google publishing the drivers/radio seperately. I wonder why that is. Oh, that's right. Because SoC manufacturers like qualcomm only release android drivers for their devices.
On the other hand, the Pyra (which uses a TI OMAP3530 SoC) does run GANOO+LOONIX because the manufacturer supports it. Now go kill yourself for not knowing that.

>>61095937
>looked
unlocked'*
Sent from my Nexus 5x running CopperheadOS.

>>61095831
even word processing or picture manipulation is difficult on android, paying extra money for apps that come somewhat near is possible if you're lucky.

usecase, I work on something on my desktop with the applications I'm used to and can switch over to my pocket device and continue with the same applications and interface without the need to convert and got zero hit on my workflow.

with android... good lord, this can't compare at all.

>>61095884
No, I type on the physical keyboard my phone has. As I said: I get the appeal of a physical keyboard and am still using a BlackBerry Passport.

>>61095788
I think its hard for them to lower price because they are producing in small numbers.

If they were able sell 2-3mln devices they could cut prices.

>>61095960
I still think a laptop would be netter in this case.

>>61095984
but what if I want something light I don't need a backpack for? something I can use in the subway within seconds out of my pocket just like a smartphone but for something useful?

I just have this image of you sat on the subway minding your own business, and thinking about what dragon dildo you'll purchase next month, when out of the blue a qt 3.14 girl gets on and sits opposite you! You have to demonstrate your potential as a mate to this alluring maiden, and no mere smartphone shall suffice for this task!

With great effort (why do they make these seats so small? you're not large they just design these for midgets) you manage to extract your UMPC from your trench coat, and carefully open it up. With a wink at the girl (who hasn't looked up yet - damn) you pull on your programming gloves, crack your knuckles (well you try and crack them at least) and lower the brim of your fedora just the tiniest fraction.

You know exactly what you must do your fingers blur as you feverishly type, then they ponderously tap the backspace key, then feverishly give it another go - nope still got some typos in there, shit I hope she didn't notice - glance - nope, still looking elsewhere, and look at that, third times the charm:

pacman -Syu

You can feel her arousal from over here, can already sense the moistness of her panties in the air (although that could conceivably be that derelict in the corner). Better tell mom to cancel your meetings - someone's getting lucky tonight.

Wireless charging could make pico projectors great. Imagine a keyboard that breaks into four pieces and stacks together to fit in your pocket.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Windows 10/Linux tablet with 4G?

Pic related is what I bought 2 weeks ago. A cheap Win10 tablet for USD190~
However it does not have 4G, which seems to be rare for some reason. Or other wise only found in very expensive sets.

Display borders as feets.
Special custom BIOS (Botnet Input Output System).
Drivers that didn't even work with the preinstalled OS correctly.

I'm not too concerned about packet-ability, or even power. but I do like a small laptop, 13" or less. but every time I look up a nice looking chink or even non-chink ultrabook, convertable tablet or whatever, it always has shit battery life.

More than enough, we aren't talking 2010 Atoms here. You can run the PSP games at several times native resolution without a hickup.

Don't know about the Pocket, but for the Win, emulation like PSP you can get up to 5 hours (personal experience) with full screen brightness.
