It’s a larger device, but I’m hoping the new Framework 12 comes in at a price point to fill the “cheap hacker laptop” category. The original eee was a fantastic “throw it in your bag & bring it anywhere”, and it all but required running Linux to get anything out of it. There was a brief side line on netbooks where you could swap in a daylight-readable display of the sort used in the OLPCs, too, but I never had the confluence of money, time, and availability to make that happen.
