While traveling recently, I became frustrated with my aging 11" Thinkpad and the limitations of iPhones or tablets, so I have started looking into sourcing a customized computer for use on the go.
I’d like it to have the following items for practicality:
- Full GNU/Linux OS
- USB chargeable with battery
- Medium book sized (like iPad Mini or A5 Paper) dimensions assuming a couple inches thick
- Large internal storage
- Full keyboard (especially things like system key, tab, delete, home/end, etc.)–size is negotiable though
- Mouse or touchscreen
- Yoga-style hinges for laptop, lay-flat, and tablet form factors
Most off-the-shelf options are too expensive for what they offered (GPD), out-of-date (original netbooks), or poorly reviewed. Modifying a second-hand tablet or netbook, or building something from scratch seems like a reasonable option to get everything I want.
