I have the GPD Pocket 1 for these purposes; it's fast, it runs Windows, Linux and Android. I run Linux (Ubuntu/i3) on it. It has phenomenal battery life and it's fast enough to do reasonable .NET Core development on in cramped spaces or when my laptop is empty.
I owned the Gemini as well, but, before it got stolen, I was going to sell it because Linux on that device did not really work for me while Android was not productive (for me).
- Crinus 7y agoYeah, GPD's handheld PCs are IMO better than these ARM-based computers since they are (mostly) regular x86 PCs in tiny size and i can run my existing x86/x64 applications and games with them (of which i have thousands). Though when it comes to games i prefer the GPD Win. Honestly every time i learn about any handheld computer or gaming device i do a quick comparison in my mind with GPD's computers and outside of price the latter pretty much always come out winners (largely because they have zero competition in the real-PC-in-your-pocket space).
- defaultprimate 7y agoAre there alternative companies to GPD with similar x86 platforms? They look pretty great, but like to shop around a bit
- Grumbledour 7y agoThere are. Check out Liliputing[0] for example, to get an overview (No affiliation) [0] https://liliputing.com/tag/mini-laptop https://liliputing.com/tag/mini-laptop
