    1. Cool idea.
    2. Is this really an article about a reddit thread where some dude says he could do it but maybe later?

      I too laughed at “enthusiast mulls.”

      That being said, I too, am an enthusiast who’d love to see these handheld-like PCs come back.

        This remains one of my favorite pieces of 21st century industrial design.

    I sold computers at the time this thing came out. We had one of these sealed away in an acrylic cube. When closing the store one day, I discovered that someone had CUT THE CUBE IN HALF and stolen the computer (but left the dock and charging cord.) Absolutely insane that nobody noticed them do that.
