Should they have just smashed a sim card into these fuckers? would have saved us all a lot of doom scrolling if phone devices were even slightly less convenient to pull out, not to mention women wouldn't expect you to reply to them in 5 mins after every sent text.

cellular modems in laptops running windows aren't able to be used for calls/texts. they're only for data purposes. i don't know what the situation is for linux but it probably isn't much different.
believe me, if you could have a pc and phone in one device (not jeetdroid or ios) people would've been all over it, at least a decent amount

i bring my phone with sim card in a car and use data to use internet and i can also call, SO WHY NOT ON A NETBOOK YOU BASTARD JUST ADD THE SLOT TO THE BOARD OR SOMETHING DAMN!!!!!!!

thats not how normaloids operate

there are plenty of devices like that on the market
there are tablets as well
even modern smartphones couldve been that very easily with market pressure(just look at n900, thats basically a minicomputer in a phone form factor)
remember how i just wrote about smartphones? well there are droid distributions like lineage and graphene that are basically like desktop OS and there is a fucking postmarketos that is LITERALLY a desktop OS for mobile devices
there are linux phones as well

and yet NOBODY gives a shit about anything aforementioned aside from a few small communities of giganerds dedicated to these things

the kettle buys ONLY the socially acceptable slop shilled by ads, corpos that simply force them to buy it by leveraging their monopoly status and their peers that simply treat tech as an ingroup status thing

you VVILL be forever stuck with niggerkettle techslop and you VVILL love it

Wrong, many of them do SMS and some even have voice calling enabled in the firmware. But you need to use the manufacturers software since windows has no built in functions for these.

Netbooks were the techslop that failed because they were too awesome for the nigracattle to contemplate.

>>107789523

>>107789681
I was saving up for one for like 5 months and then when I went to buy one two weeks ago the one I wanted shot up 300 bucks so now I don't give a fuck anymore
>>
>>107790066
op here and yea i snagged one for $300 and one for $500 there fun little guys if anything i recommend trying to find one that DOESNT double as a tablet as you have to fuck with screen orientation in ANY tty terminal before you step into your window manager /DE

>>107789845

Must be a burgerland issue. I was duped for many years by ipad kids saying the cellular ipad couldn't make calls. I thought Android tabs worked the same way but lo and behold both cellular ipads and android tabs actually accept calls and sms in my region. wtf

The GPD Win Mini was $550 during black friday.
8840U + 16GB RAM.
The 2025 models use 2280 SSDs so it was a cheap upgrade to 2TB.

I just got a phone that's too small to read on comfortably for extended periods.
That said I'd buy a qwerty netbook with a sim slot or esim in a heartbeat.
