GPD Win Max 2?

>>108298653
Tablets and bt keyboards exist. Even if nobody wants to make a laptop, you'd think somebody would make a bt keyboard in a clamshell where you could snap your tablet into it. Yes I know they make folio cases but they're floppy af.

Maid computers are retarded. Just get a laptop.

that's an 10" laptop, it's more comparable to the 2019 macbook than a viao p
the gpd pocket 4 is closer but still not quite the same form factor

That fucking thing would melt into a puddle.

>>108298710
It's probably stable on low. Its GPU is just slightly more powerful than a GTX 1650.

>>108298710
maybe the pocket 4 but some of their devices are more powerful than the steam deck

>>108298653
what use case and or value would this provide that a 7 inch tablet or steam could not? serious question

>>108298678
Came here to post this, call it the nano. I would like for there to be a proper trackpad, even if it's tiny and in the corner.

problem is the battery sucks.

>>108298752
that’s not a use case or value. I am seriously asking. and you gave me a glib answer. the only thing I can truly think of with this thing is for word processing, in your pocket. which you can already do with a smartphone. an actual keyboard would be nice but 7inch tablets already have that. those fit in large pockets. I mean this foldable keyboard computer sony thing isn’t that far off from a logitech keys to go 2 in length

same for the PDA or Palm Pilot
I think with the increase interest in removing from being online constantly, having an e-ink display with small stylus could make a big move

This is great, unless you are using it in your lap's top.

What's the use case?
>yes I want something that's like a laptop but is the size of a tablet but is not a tablet
>I will use this to ?????????

>>108298653
wasnt there some technolo/g/y (maybe on blackberry phones?) that allowed the entire keyboard area to be a touchpad too
the clit works for me but it'd be a nice feature to add

>>108298841
>iPad with built on keyboard with out-of-the-box Linux support, UEFI boot and possibly even CSM compatibility module
:D

>>108298905
an OS is not a computer. it’s just an aesthetic and gui to navigate and open programs. I’m sure there are programs available on linux not an ipad, but then just get a steam deck

>>108298653

I believe that’s called a blackberry. You just want it to run linux because reasons

Somebody could just make a universal mechanical hinge that sticks onto a floppy keyboard case with double sided tape to make it like a laptop. Szenzhen if you're reading this people will buy it if you make it.

>>108298653
There is almost no market for it

year 20 of /g/ screaming into the void about product ideas no one wants or cares about

>>108298653
I don't want a laptop. I want an ARM-based tablet with a keyboard case and pen, that can run Windows/Linux smoothly.

>>108300274
Just get an ipad and folio case.

You don't need linux.

Man that looks like crap compared to Sony's beautiful designs.

Though I'll say that I've tried one of the P Series Vaios years ago and the keyboard and mouse buttons were awful.

>>108298752
lmao, you retards cannot give a single usecase for a toy like that and then you complain nobody makes them

>>108301596
The ultrawide Vaios look like toys, only slider Vaios looked good.

>>108298653
What's the use case for this? It doesn't look comfortable to use at all.

>>108298664
>>108298758

Light, small. But too small for comfort in real use. >>108301561
P-Series is great on specs for that time. but too small to be put on lap, too petite on table for typing, and too big for handheld use (>>108301596).
Pocket PC are e-wastes because it sacrifices too much for mere size reduction.

Looking around the journey of laptop milestone. 12-13" laptops are the king of travel PC.
personally, X270 is the best for travel companion on-the-go
>12.5" screen. Small, but not too small for eyesore for viewing from distance.
>Dual battery for maximum unplugged operation. 24wh internal + 72wh external = 96wh (closest to airline allowance). Most laptop of this size only have around 50-60wh.
>still offer full sized keyboard, with excellent typing experience.
i own the i5 one, installed windows 7 (by force), and it lasts for almost 24 hours.

>>108301644
the best i can think is due to japs lifestyle. Like workaholic salaryman using it while sitting inside a crowded train. However, no one in japan even do this.

It was called the OpenPandora and it was awesome.

>>108302121
did you ever get your pre-order lol?

UMPCs are the greatest compromise in the push towards smartphones. They're some of the coolest pieces of tech I ever used but the market didn't pounce on them so they became a niche.

It's why I liked GPD's devices (until the Win 5), since they were keeping the tradition alive.

>>108302169
OpenPandora was 15 years ago.
The Pyra is the one currently being manufactured by the Krautists.

HARSH TRUTH: x86 is not a viable architecture for small, battery-driven devices.

I bought two UMPCs and both did this:
>battery swollen
>UEFI has problems without battery but starts after 1 minute struggling
>only third world keyboard available (US)
>screen has problems because they use phone screens mounted 90 degrees wrong position
>touch screen has ghost touches and had to be disabled
>extremely loud fan that scrapes against metal parts if you move the UMPC
>85-110 Celcius and burns in your hands (also case is made from metals)
>benchmarks so good performance but in reality is actually slow
>screen is high resolution and you have to use 2x scaling to even see something
>Linux kernel didn't have matrix for your wrongly mounted screen so you had to fix it
>battery life is 1 hour when new and after 2 years it is less than 20 minutes
>usb-c only charges with 12 V which is optional in the usb-c spec so 99% of the chargers don't have that...
>display port that is out of spec and doesn't work at all

Also was baited/trolled to use (old classic and new) thinkpads and all of them was trash tier poor quality. 8/10 of those just died. Motherboards just died without any reason. Shit screens, shit battery, shit (classic and new) keyboards, shit camera, shit everything.

I learned that only thing you should use is LineageOS phone (GrapheneOS is now 100% honeypot after official Motorola thing) when you are not home, and when at home you should use desktop PC with Linux. Nobody needs laptop, Apple cuckware, pineapple or duck toy network hacker shit, UMPC or other toys. Just LineageOS, desktop Linux and OpenWrt router.

Add gyro for mouse control and back paddles for clicking and I'll buy it.

MNT's machines are neat but entirely too expensive.

>>108298653
>we now have the technology
We can't even fucking buy RAM anymore. Motherfucker.
Fuck.

>>108302145
The product and price is right, but I'm sorry, until they start making laptops with mainlined chipsets, I'm never gonna buy an MNT device. There's literally no point.

ESPECIALLY considering they didn't even bother to implement sleep or proper power management, even for their weird debian fork. Like give me a break. It's a premium product that's completely ruined by a handful of half-assed choices. They're on the third laptop they've designed, and they're still making all the same mistakes.

>>108298653
that's a very convoluted way to say you can't afford a macbook air
