We’ll never get a PC that looks better than this one.

I have that one. The problem is there's no third party battery solution and the OG batteries are all shot by now.

Well, you could build one yourself using an overpriced SBC

This kind of form factor will be great but you need a window manager built around it instead of trying to cram a desktop one onto it

I really want that or something like that as an "ssh into vim" machine. Closest thing that's practically available is a phone with a bluetooth keyboard.

I don't think your reply is serious, but just in case it is, these are for pragmatic purposes, not attention. I do think you are seeking attention though.

Sony design was otherworldly in the 00s. The designs were so good. My 2001 Vaio running XP still rivals MacBooks in design.

Awfully cramped. I'd want a full size laptop for an ssh into vim machine.

I have the Gemini PDA. A real shame that Planet Computers went full scam mode after their deal with a Chinese manufacturer got ruined. The Astro Slide 5G is a vaporware product now, last update in 2023.
Some people are still expecting their keyboard phone after 5 fucking years: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/planetcomputers/astro-slide-5g-transformer/comments
I was one of the few people who got a refund.
Anyway, my point is: don't buy that or anything else from Planet Computers. There's no software updates, nothing. The best thing about this was being able to boot a normal Linux OS, but the kernel is not mainlined because it's MediaTek trash.

I essentially have that phone's predecessor (basically the same keyboard) and it is surprisingly good for typing.
It easily beats a touchscreen keyboard, especially if you have bigger hands like me.

>>109083550
a netrunner utilizing a full sized keyboard will have greater bandwidth

MacBook Air looks better

Post your MacBook Air.

>>109081968
Yeah you probably should in case you drop it.

>>109083687
MBAs are great laptops no doubt, but the Sony VAIO line had sovl that modern computers lack.

Fuck man. It really is that simple.
I have no experience or any right to be in the market, and the market is ruthless and impossible. But maybe I should. Maybe I should just go into debt and take out a loan and just explicitly put all my time and money into making products that the existing vendors deem to be "unwanted". They are wrong. I know they're wrong. For many products.

If you think those are functionally equivalent then you're a retard.

I have been collecting hardware images for a while and I like when these threads come up so I can post them and see new ones. I hope you like them too.

Maybe not but GPD comes pretty damn close.

I liked their vita clone but Sony's VAIO designs are just pure sovl.
The OQO model 2 was the peak of UMPC. Seeing them get killed by smartphones was like watching Pakistanis moving into Japan. We have the technology now, where are the smartphone alternatives not based on toy architectures? This thing deserves to exist properly.

True, at least it's still an option. And I believe in voting with my wallet.
