I sit down at the coffee shop. It's so magical... the way it wisps across the room as I pull it out of my pocket. The wind blows and brushes a beautiful brunette woman's hair across her face. She smiles at me. Is that a GPD Micro PC? Yes I say smoothly as she touches my thigh and asks if she can borrow it. I want to email my dad and tell him that I've found the man that shall hold my hand in marriage. A man walks out…
Any chance of more details on "where" did You buy it for 300EUR? Looking at Google Shopping results (location:Germany) right now and there seems to be no chance of getting it below ~450EUR, more like 500+EUR (when shipping is included). Portability is nice, but I'm finding it hard to imagine a scenario where the small width/height would be the killer feature. For that kind of price I think there are much nicer option…

It depends what you want to use it for. It doesn't have GPS, or a camera, or NFC, so you won't be using it to navigate, take photos, or pay for things. You also aren't going to have much fun using it to make phone calls, and it won't run Android apps - at least not without a serious investment of effort. It also runs warm, and can only sustain 8 hours or so of screen-on time. That said - yes. Folded, it's almost exac…
Thank you for this! Just a question, have you been using the same model as the OP - GPD Micro PC?

> 1. Buy a used smartphone with postmarketOS support[1]. having an attached keyboard is the whole point though
