jandoenermannI installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing
jordanlundThe use case seems pretty limited:
“when I’m on the go and I don’t have room in my bag for a full-sized laptop”
First, if you’re on the go, do you need a computer with you? Second, if you do, that’s what a dedicated laptop bag is for.

That’s kinda the point of laptops
Second, if you do, that’s what a dedicated laptop bag is for.
Why should I have to carry a whole bag? This is the same argument as “you already have a bag for your mobile phone battery, why would you want to carry it everywhere with you anyway?”
The answer to that is “because they can”. You don’t have to like it, but others do, so if you can’t understand the potential applications, then it’s clearly not for you.
What I’m saying is, the use case is limited.
You can carry a bag for your laptop and have other things in it vs. fitting an 8" device into the bag you’re carrying.
