Just saw the kickstarter campain of GDP Pocket

https://indiegogo.com/projects/...

anyone else thinks this looks totally awesome?

@thmnmlst

I don't think that 399 for backers is overpriced, also the 699 for retail price isn't overpriced for me ... if I think of all the shitty laptops that cost 799 or so this is awesome IMHO :)

I don't like it

😍

I was first with this and I have witnesses :P but yea I think it's cool @linuxxx @thmnmlst

@liammartens Yas, hereby I verify that you were the first 😄

Looks far too small to be useful. I doubt I would be able to comfortably do the things I can't do on a smartphone

trackpad or it goes in the garbage lol.

Their indigogo comparison with apple and and surface 3 seems deceitful... No way I'm paying 400 for an atom processor.. might as well stick with my pi zero on the go

@mzgaljic it has one of those dot things like Lenovo Thinkpads have

I don't understand why anyone would want something so small. We have phones that size and laptops/desktops to work on...

Yeah, looks good. Not sure about the power button placement (above delete), but the campaign price is IMO great - it has awesome display compared to everything I saw so far. And is really easy to carry around (not like notebooks), has hw keyboard unlike smartphones. And also "real" OS. To Tux fans: I read something about only Ubuntu being supported - they have to write several drivers and I don't know under which license they are planning to release them 😐. Not sure if gonna buy/back it, but I am intrigued.

To the mouse control, IIRC it has touch screen.

I didn't know they had Kickstarter campaigns on Indegogo :P

How to do a close enough thing for less money:
Step 1: Get a big phone.
Step 2: Buy an OTG adapter.
Step 3: Get a smallish keyboard, it can be Bluetooth or connect using the OTG adapter you got for step 2.
Step 4: Connect keyboard.
Step 5: Do whatever nonsense you want to do with that tiny screen.

Wow, that could replace my eee701 that still is alive but old as sh*t. Yes it is soo small but the perfect always with me conference Notebook.

@osmarks Haven't seen any phone with real desktop OS (x64 arch). This is supposed to be a mini pc, not smartphone with keyboard.

@monnef In that case, get one of those cheap x86 tablets.

@osmarks I think the idea behind this is to have decent specs in a small size.

Are smart phones not pocket computers?

@jpichardo They say Intel Atom.
Edit: it's a powrful-sounding-ish Atom. I guess I'll just see how this thing goes once they're out of kick-starting.

Been done. Many times.

@d4ng3r0u5 was about to say that. Had an Acer Eepecee(???) I think. One of those minilaptops. It ran debian just fine but it just wasn't useful for two reasons. Keyboard is too small to use with two hands. Screen is too small to do anything else but run terminal. 14 inch is absolutely minimum for my hands to type properly.
