      ASUS still makes netbooks.

      I bought a little $200 model a few years ago. It weighs 9 oz.

      Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

    I can’t imagine many people would find this a pleasant device to do any actual work on. Maybe writers on the go, as the author says, though with a dubious keyboard layout even that is questionable.

      Docks are pretty great now.

      I have a dock at home and at work. Single cable to plug in and get proper peripherals, 2 + 1 monitors, and power.

      It’s nice to be able to undock and go sit in a Cafe to read emails or do whatever you don’t need full regalia for.

      I can see this working on a smaller form factor.

    Thank you very much!

    I need exactly something like that thing! :⁠-⁠D

    Something I can just connect to a device to gather logs and don’t need to care, that it’s lying in the dirt for a few hours.
    Currently I need to use my main laptop and I’m always anxious to get it destroyed. Either by dirt/dust or a careless worker in the warehouse.

    So this thing seems to be just perfect for such tasks

    Can’t even express how happy and excited I am now, waiting for that sexy little thing to show up in my mail :⁠-⁠D

    That keyboard layout gave me a stroke. I’d rather relocate Enter than the apostrophe. I suppose that could be remapped…

    I like my T14 with touchscreen but I kind of wish I went a little smaller. Cost $300 refurbished with a 2 year warranty though, and it runs great!
