Smallest device which could run comfortably emacs (alien.top)

Half out of curiosity and half out of real interest I'd like to know what is the smallest (portable) device with a reasonable quality keyboard that could run an appropriate Linux distro and emacs and people have tested for actual long-term usability.

I'm looking at UMPCs and various 7-inch mini laptops you see on eBay.

Thanks!

Pine phone + Keyboard Case?

Keyboard quality?

[–] AudreyIsDumb@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OK for the size. Not a great size though

Poor, some keys tends to get stuck too often.

If you don't plan supporting Pine64 it's better to buy another portable keyboard.

Yeah, that was my impression from reading the reviews
