Add a keyboard and sell it to Shadowrun fans

There's dozens of us!

There is a keyboard attachment.

Presumably you could add a 4G USB modem as well and use it as a phone.

That would be interesting. I wonder if the internals would allow for the use of the PCIe 2.1 > m.2 for a 5G module but that'd rinse the battery

And where did that bring you!? Back to me

When I was a kid dreaming of a pocket computer, this is kind of what I pictured in my mind.

Goddamn that looks so gloriously retro.

It's the handheld that a plucky mining crew employed by Weyland-Yutani would use. I love it.

I've never seen plasma in a mobile layout like that. That looks awesome!

there are linux phone implementations with plasma, far from perfect but entertaining non the less

Oh, love the early-'90s throwback design!

I'm not entirely sold on the peripheral keyboard, but only because my fat fingers would press multiple tiny keys if I tried to type. I guess Liliputing implies li'l fingers ๐Ÿ™‚

7 inch display has always been unusable for this form factor. I get that it's easy to integrate with the pi but when using a cyber deck as a laptop it's like trying to read a postage stamp.

HMDs like the Xreal Air seem like the better way to go: ditch the integrated screen.
