Was about to say this. The netbook (and in extension UMPC) niche never really died. It was a niche a decade ago and it's still a niche today.
One thing I will say is that, these tiny devices never fail to seem magical to the general public. I own (and from time to time use) a OneMix 2S Yoga, and even in this day and age with our smartphones and thin-and-light laptops, every time I pop it out on a bus or plane or at a conference, countless people strike up a conversation asking me what "that tiny laptop(/macbook*)" is...
* With the lid closed, the all-aluminum build does make the onemix 2s look like a shrunken down older Macbook Pro...
- jollyllama 4y agoIt never died, but the durability and modularity of the EEE PCs has no analogue today.
- type0 4y agoYeah and the prices/performance compared to smaller laptops doesn't make it a good buy today edit: there is modularity in some, GPD Pocket 3 can be expanded with a serial port or "HDMI in +usb-c" modules. The trouble is, that is quite expensive for what is a bit luxurious netbook
