I look at these things and the Model 100 is just about the minimum size I would use.
First, it has to be designed around a real (non-tenkey) keyboard, with a 25- 40- whatever-line screen chosen for size. That is the minimum footprint. Then stuff everything else underneath this top in as thin a manner as possible, of which the CPU and its cooling would probably be the thickest component.
I'm skeptical that anybody needs these tools to fit in pockets.
- ytjohn 6y agoI admit, In my younger days I fell for the "fits in my pocket" fallacy. No, I don't need that. I almost always need some kind of cable, and a keyboard you can type on is... key. I do like my laptop to be lightweight, thin, with some semblance of battery life. But for what I'm considering a portable utility computer, I now think in terms of a textbook. Self contained, usable, but also expandable.
