> Also you don't need a 3D printer or anything fancy if you're willing to settle for chinkware. I have a small keyboard myself and plenty more varieties to choose from out there.
This is why I have a DevTerm. It has a nice screen and keyboard and mouse device and battery life and those are the only things I need. If I get dumped in a Microcenter or an electronics warehouse in Shenzhen and I have a week to kill, maybe, but I look at "$200 for another Thinkpad" and "$200 for a DevTerm" and I get the DevTerm. It uses 18650s, I can pick those up at the store. All the parts: schematics, circuit diagrams, keyboard firmware, all of it. So this is much nicer than a Thinkpad. I would be *delighted* to spend a week making a modular cyberdeck but I don't have a week to spend on that.
