I was kinda hoping there are $50 used one that work fine with stripped down minimalist Linux setup, maybe MATE or even lighter. Then I’d probably just buy 10 of them and leave them flung about, one in each room.
I’m half joking half serious.
Edit: Ok yeah there are bulk sellers of various Chromebooks that are going for like $30/laptop. i.e - “Dell Chromebook 11 P22T 3120 Non-Touch - Unlocked - Bulk Discounts”
Looks like I’m more serious than I expected. Just need to build a fast way to flash and image them.
- numpad0 3y agoMaybe "mobile thin clients" work as well, those are more or less just Celeron ultrabooks. Roles that require use of a mobile TC would also require calm minds too.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoAny hardware you know of that runs Linux? Does mobile mean LTE modem maybe? A cheap mobile thin client with builtin LTE with drivers running Linux sounds like a dream come true, if it exists.
