   Remember netbooks, those little mini laptops? Ironic that they were probably largely replaced by tablets, but now hardly anyone seems to use tablets.

      @ink_slinger still have one that my daughter uses as her "work laptop", an 11" HP mini with Linux installed.

      I sincerely miss that form factor. My favourite notebook of all-time is the Sony Viao P, and is a dream level goal of mine to resurrect that format into a modern laptop on ARM/RISC-V with a decent screen.

         @thurloat Pinebook? 😂

         It's the only ARM laptop I know of. I'm curious, because it's a cool proof of concept, but they don't sound particularly useful.
