    I remember my 9 inch “netbook.” That thing was dope.

    I’m down to see this form factor make a comeback, personally.

      Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

          I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot UEFI firmware and boots Linux. Works…fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.

      I’m strongly hoping that the framework 12’’ becomes widely successful so that the format keeps being relevant.

        Still love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.

      Unfortunately I think most of this audience (if there ever was any) have switched to tablets.
