Tiny laptops have always been devices that promise so much, yet fail somehow to deliver. From the Atari Portfolio palmtops through to the recent crop of netbooks they have been either eye-wateringly expensive if they are any good, or so compromised by their size constraints as to be next-to-useless. We’ve seen DOS, EPOC, Windows, WinCE, Palm OS, Linux distros and more in tiny form factors over the years, yet few have made a significant mark. The prospect of a “proper” computer in your hand isn’t something to abandon just yet though. We are now reaching the point at which the previous generation of higher-end Android tablets are both acceptably powerful and sufficiently numerous as to be available at a very reasonable price. Perhaps these can provide the tiny laptop seeker with a basis for something useful.
NODE certainly thinks so, because he’s using a second-hand Nexus 7 tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard case. Android is replaced with an Ubuntu image, and a cardboard cut-out display bezel is held in place with magnetic strips. Has been put up to help others interested in following the same path. This is not the most amazing of hardware hacks, in that it involves mostly off-the-shelf items and a piece of software. However it’s worth a look because it does provide a route to a very acceptable little Linux laptop for an extremely reasonable price. One concern is that the Ubuntu version seems not to be a recent one, however we’re sure readers will point at any newer distribution builds in the comments. If you fancy a look at the finished laptop he’s posted a video which we’ve included below the break.
We’ve shown you a few home-made palmtops over the years, including at heart, and this. Or you could take a look at. Posted in Tagged, Post navigation. I keep an old Eee-PC 901 with Lubuntu in reserve for vacations and riding in the back of an airplane as the effed-up kludge that even de-googled Cyanogen-mod w/F-droid is. The super tough Eee line of netbooks convinced me to try a jump off of the Thinkpad line for my primary laptop and I have never looked back.
I truly wish I could get a modern Eee equivalent in the old sizing with an amd64 to run regular desktop Linux. This project looked exciting until I realized the newer Nexus 7(2013wifi) is not covered. I do pretty much the same with Cyanogen and a wired keyboard protective folder. I need to snip off the microusb on the KB and solder inline an OTG hub for a few extra USB ports for stuff like an external SD card. I think I will need to potch with digispark USB HID so I can make a Thinkpad style pointer stick mouse, as they do not seem to be available otherwise. I still use my Eee-PC on a daily basis.
It’s had two new keyboards and a (faster, larger) replacement SSD but it still works perfectly. Every time I pull it out people are like, “Whoah!
Where can I get one?”. Those things were perfect, it’s a pity they ever let the design department listen to whiny, ham-fisted ‘reviewers’. These days they could be slimline with retina displays, etc., but nooooo.they’re completely impossible to use because the keyboard is only 90% size, right? I was late to the netbook party until I picked up one and then another dirt cheap used. I can type on them well enough, but find the keyboards, although previously abused, to be poor quality, I could do with replacing them. However, that’s investing as much again as they cost me.

I am living the form factor for chuckarounds and take everywhereness. They run windows 10 surprisingly well, I was going to stick lubuntu or something on them, figuring they were too old and slow now for windows, but with 2GB w10 is quite usable.
Only other complaint is low vertical resolution on mine Mine are a later aspire one and a very similar emachine both with n450s. I am torn between spending money on them, SSDs and new keyboards, and finding another more betterer one with 768 or 900 vertical res. Seeing some dell ones in refurb channels that are tempty. Though I’m wondering if I would have as “much fun” with them if I had paid more, since I don’t care where I bring them if you know what I mean, I wonder if spending a few $$ on a good one would have me leaving it at home more often I’m like that with stuff, keep the “good one” in reserve until the old thing is absolutely beaten to death and can’t even.
I have a V2000 series presario though that is almost as compact, the screen backlight died. I have half a mind to refurb that and use it for the chuckaround, cram in a 2Ghz Turion and it’s gotta be as good as the 1.6G Atoms. I tried some live CDs on it in the past and they didn’t seem to play nice with teh powersaving. Will have to try again. Running a Dell Mini 9 here, I run it with XP and Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) to prevent any permanent changes to the OS. I pretty much treat it as an appliance. Anyways, I use it with a USB Oscilloscope for portable trouble shooting.
It’s nice since I’m totally isolated from the mains (no isolation transformers etc to worry about). I really wish netbooks would make a resurgence.
I’ve got more I/O on this Dell Mini 9 than the last couple generations of macbooks combined an odd comparison I know, but it seems the market tends to follow Apple’s trends. So I’m afraid not only will we see fewer netbooks, but fewer laptops with functional ports in the future. Anyways three cheers for netbooks. Just found out Turions are about 20% faster at the same clock as N450 Atoms and with only minor improvements up and down the line in the refreshes, probably still faster clock for clock So, as I suspected, Turion64 subnotebooks with the RAM crammed, might offer an alternative to netbooks. Although there were also in subnote low power models, Core 2 Duos, at lower clocks, 1.2 1.4 etc, that might also be worth looking into. The Semprons are also faster than the Atoms, but not by as much, and it can be really tricky to figure out from labelling and product specs whether you’re getting an AMD64 capable one, or whether it’s actually a low power one or one of the “DRP” versions that was up around 30 or 40 watts, i.e. That’s gonna suck juice fast.
