I would really like more competition for GPD2 and One Mix[1](another HK company) from traditional laptop makers. But I understand their reasoning for not doing that, I think they're hesitant to compete in small display market where smartphones rule; but that's exactly why I want a pocket computer from reputed brand - to ditch my smartphone.
While we wait for Linux smartphones to get better, a pocketable Linux computer as showcased in OT could fill-in the need gap. Use a data dongle for Internet/Calls on-demand on the move and have full-fledged computer at hand.
I've been telling this for years now, RPi CM4 gives me some hope. Looks like Lenovo-NEC might enter this market at least in Japan and I hope nerds in Japan buy it out and make pocket computers a thing again for rest of the world too.

- ryukafalz 6y agoI'm holding out for an equivalent of the One Mix Yoga with LTE support. The combination of small convertible tablet, keyboard (albeit a small one), USB-C for docking when at home, and mobile data/calls sounds pretty ideal. The Lavie Mini looks pretty great too, haven't seen any signs that it'll have LTE though.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoI expect few more makers to come up with ultra-portables powered by 11th Gen Intel with Xe graphics, it almost seems like intel is pushing for that for portable gaming computers. But I don't think any of them will come with LTE modem, but I personally prefer separate LTE dongle for freedom & security.
