They're not as big as a laptop and, you know, another thing I can slap Linux on. And did I mention that it's smol?

Everything else is coming back, so why not these lil funkies?! 

Tiny World needs tiny comps!

You're reading my mind. eBay and the books have learned that I will browse ads for tiny computers. Dell used to make 10 inch dual core netbooks. Everyone did! Some came in purple and had sea turtles on the stock case!

I would have to write up refurbishing the original batteries, although $40 in battery and $30 in netbook still isn't bad. Just feels odd. Cheers to netbooks.

I wonder if there's anything you can do with this not-quite-netbooks you can pick up from Bigs Lots or something... I should see if they're even still a thing and get one!

My memory has been jogged of a particular one, let me see if I can find the video for it.

Hey! I read about cyberdecks in The Expanse! Everyone's got one and the hackers got whole desktop setups.

I think those'll be my logical next step if I ever move away from the smartphone. 

Now, where to find these netbooks...
