It's a shame that tablets have made this kind of form factor less desirable (also Microsoft did hobble them by reducing Windows licenses for them and thus the machines became less capable than the Linux powered ones). I'm a big fan of UMPCs - there's something very useful about having a physical keyboard so you can do serious work when needed but don't want to carry around a large laptop. I've got a Chuwi Minibook (8inch screen) for that kind of usage and happily runs Linux on it nowadays (older versions of Ubuntu used to periodically hang which I believe was an issue with a driver for the disk).
