These seemed appealing to me at one time, but don’t seem as interesting to me over time, it’s like they try to purposely make the devices less useful

I still yearn for an affordable pocket laptop clone of the Sony VAIO P series

I suppose I could ask, does anyone know how I could DIY a wired keyboard in the chiclet (compact) laptop style? All the DIY keyboards seem to be mechanical keyboards which are giant keys (and less pocket-able). I suppose this is essentially what I want, is the right size keyboard that could attach to like a phone that could go in my pocket, and I never seem to find them

    I think the DIY chiclet keyboards aren’t popular is because working with the scissor switches is a pain in the ass. I’ve never seen one either and I don’t know about foldable keyboards for phone.

    I recently read a post about something like this OS a few days ago for old Apple PowerBooks to get some use out of them as a minimalist writing device. I would t have any use for it but it’s a nice way to recycle an older laptop if you’re a writer.
