   I bought one of these on Amazon on sale for $315 on Black Friday. I finally got it a few days ago. It's not bad for working from the toilet. At roughly 8" wide , I can hold it in my hands and type with my thumbs.

     Yeah. That's point. But it has an n100 (12th gen) with 12gb ddr5 4800 and a 512gb nvme. So it's fast for office work. And I can hold it in my hands, which was the point — working from the toilet.
     
     The only strange part is that the monitor's standard orientation is portrait, so I had to flip it. Bios also had the ram set at 3200. Not sure why. I just changed that to 4800.

     I put i3wm on the rig I bought. Using the track pad on the john is hard, and key binds are just efficient. So I mainly use the keyboard to navigate. But it also has a touch screen, so I can just touch and click if needed.

     @Humpleupagus i bought one of these and had to wait forever, unfortunately its ARM/rpi so i'm stuck with linux, and even worse, debian. but the community distro debian isn't all that bad...

     I haven't really pushed it, but it's smooth generally. It's what I'd expect for a the specs. The wifi is a bit weak though, but good enough. By comparison, I can get 700mb/s over wifi on my acer if I'm next to the access point, but the wifi on this seems to top out around 300mb/s. But that's plenty of speed for nearly all uses. It does have a 1gb rj45 port in the back though.
     
     The resolution does top out at 1280x800, but its a small screen, so that's fine. I need to be able to read.

     Yeah. I'm just wondering how long it will last before one of the components go bad, e.g. the battery. It's chink gear, so who knows. It could bork tomorrow, it could last a decade or more. It generally feels solid though. The casing is metal, not plastic. Likely aluminum.
     
     Some people online complained about the battery dying. But you see that with every laptop listing. I assume in many cases they either tried to charge it using a normal 5v charger, which won't work, or used a cable that couldn't carry the voltage required. Most people are stupid and think that all usb-c chargers and cables are interchangeable.

     I kinda like the looks of these. It's not portable but it's low bulk and could be fun to dick around with. Because I need more projects and stuff.

     Yeah. It's reminiscent of the zxspectrum or commodore64. The problem is that while PI's are great for hobby projects, they don't make great desktops. I say this owning a few. All of the new rk3588 boards can though, but at that price point, it's probably wiser to buy a used dell optiplex micro or hp elitedesk i5 or i7 6th gen with an ssd and 16+gb ram.

     It does give me an idea, which is to repurpose one of these older laptops with a VM. Perfect for kicking around, low stress. Might throw in an SSD if possible for kicks.

     Just did this with an hp dv7 core 2 duo. Threw an ssd in it and added ram (has 8gb). You can get cheap, 3x512gb ssds for about $100 and refurbish a couple cpus.
     
     The dell boots on kernel 6.13 in about 15 seconds. The only hangup was it would freeze at first. I eventually figured out that it needed the intel microcode image loaded before the kernel, and acpi_osi set to windows 2006.

     What I do with a new cpu is complete the windows install, so I can associate the license with my account in case I ever need to use it, and then I install Linux. This is why my idle ram use is 500mb and not 4gb.

     @Xenophon @Humpleupagus @The_Almighty_Kek I wish that weren’t true; it’s less an office PC than a server hosting a half a dozen management/spyware tools. The end Office users get the remaining 20% of resources the pajeet bloatware allows them to use.
