I use a ThinkPad T470 at work and it's served me quite well. Not really sure I'd want to go much smaller. I do agree that it's silly to have Print Screen where it is (though it's actually kinda handy, too, when I need to take a whole bunch of screenshots, e.g. when writing documentation). The idea of being able to plug a laptop into a server or something and instantly transform said laptop into a console is pretty ne…

Of course something similar to this can come to market, there is a market for this as nothing actually answer to these needs even if it is a niche market. the success of the openpandora[1] demonstrated without a doubt that as long there is demand for a specialized hardware based upon having a real keyboard then it is possible to successfully sell, and now the pyra[2] is following. I would not be happy with your HP El…
I guess it depends on one’s definition of “serious work”. I do just fine with a USB3 -> Gigabit adapter the three or so times a year I actually need it. In turn, I could never get any “serious work” done on your Pandora’s tiny 5” screen. My device suits my workload perfectly. :-)
