Anyone interested in this might consider the GPD MicroPC. It has become my go-to "fits in a cargo pocket" computer.
They had a battery controller issue initially with the Indiegogo batch, but that has been solved on the ones you can get from Amazon now.
- noobermin 7y agoWas looking at these micro pc's and one of the more annoying things is that `|' is not in its usual location. I was hoping to install linux on one and having the pipe in a nonstandard place might take getting used to.
- Grumbledour 7y agoI feel the keyboard on these kind of computers in general need much work. They feel very low effort and look bad in comparison to many 90s palmtops. What also bothers me is the high price of these kind of computers. While I am sure there are people who appreciate that kind of power, I rather have something much more low spec but at a massively reduced price. Having a command line and simple tools for writing/coding does not need much horse power and a sub $200 would be much easier to justify on a second or third computer as $500+
- bovine3dom 7y agoI have a GPD Pocket. The keyboard does take some getting used to. More problematically it's essentially unusable if you have chunky fingers due to the small key size. It's fine for me, but about 1 in 3 of my male friends really struggle with it. It's perfect for travelling for me. I just wish it was slightly speedier and that it had a better trackpoint (which later models have sadly removed entirely).
- regularfry 7y agoThe GPD win2 looks quite fun, if you're into that sort of thing. Looks like the same sort of keyboard as the Nokia n900.
- dheera 7y agoI have an issue with the ";" key not being in the correct location. I type dvorak, and that's my "s" key.
