What would you consider to be a MVPC (Minimum Viable Pocket Computer)?
- em-bee 4y agoa keyboard large enough to type on it with two hands (even if not using all 10 fingers) and a screen no larger than the keyboard. (no touchpad. it takes up way to much space for little gain), 4-8GB of ram and not to much diskpace. (lot's of diskspace takes more effort to back up)
- kragen 4y agoIf the keyboard on this is 7 "inches" wide, that's 14.8 mm per key. I think 14 mm wide would be enough, so this is probably wide enough to type on with two hands. But by the same token, it's probably too big to fit comfortably in most pockets.
- em-bee 4y agothe GPD pocket is 6.5 inch wide, with 16mm per key. and it does fit into some of my pants pockets. but that's actually not a criteria for me. i rather carry it in a shoulder bag or backpack anyways.
- 2III7 4y agoA 6.5+" android smartphone with an external keyboard. My Note 10 Plus does everything I need on the go.
- drran 4y agoA detachable DOCK with keyboard, additional battery, 3 or 4 USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI, SD socket(s), headphones socket, etc., which can be attached to any smartphone via something like VESA mount for displays and TV-s. To use the keyboard, I prefer just slide it, to use like a notebook, out OR rotate it and the phone to form a cross, to use it like a portable gaming console. This way, I can select a phone with good specs, then install LineAge with Linux terminal, and use the phone as a PC for development, note-taking, texting, etc.
