Is there a purpose for this form factor nowadays? Obviously

What's that netbook with the clitoris mouse between the spacebar?

gpd pocket, the newest and most boring

Nah it just harkens back to an era where you thought mobile computers would be mobile computers instead of the shit we got with smartphones.

If I want something light to carry with me and type on, my Aspire One with a light distro still does the job just fine and has hella long battery life. I don't want to use my phone for this stuff, and a tablet is a pain in the ass to do real writing on.

Not really. With the occasional /g/-ish exception, people who need a proper keyboard want a trackpad, and people who need small and portable above all else have a use case where a touchscreen is more comfortable to use than a keyboard.

Something with a vaio p sized keyboard but with some kind of foldable / otherwise compact 12" screen would be nice.

nope, UMPCs are a dead meme

anything you "need" a real keyboard for, for any length of time, you are not going to want to use anything smaller than a x220, maybe a netbook if you just need to bang out a few lines of text / SSH or whatever, but if that's all your doing you might as well use a phone, maybe with a bluetooth keyboard.

This kind of autism just makes me chuckle.

"No, what's working well for you is wrong! This is what you like!"

No, no I don't.

Well is an x220 too big for you to carry around?

>>61757588
It's too big to fit in my pocket.

I personally use a cheap tablet with one of those chinkshit leather cases that has a keyboard on the inside, and I like it a lot.

The keyboard is kinda shitty, but way better than typing on the screen.

I didn't see the point of this kinda stuff before when I was a neet, but nowadays I have very little time to spend sitting in front of my desktop.

It's good for typing, reading stuff, watching netflix and playing a few games.

The point of it to me is having a portable, lightweight device, with a nice battery life, that I'm able to take anywhere without making my bag any heavier.

I wish I could install real Linux on it, but then I would lose access to a few android apps that I use a lot.
