I've been on the go a lot recently and haven't been able to shitpost as much, so I was wondering what would be a good device to shitpost from on the go that wouldn't weigh a lot or take up much space yet still be comfy to use.
Any phone made recently?
Or like a weird device? I always wanted one of these. pic gets me everytime
>>52692519
Phones really aren't comfy for shitposting though, as it takes a long time to type out a post and god help you if you try to quote multiple people. There's also the problem of it regularly refreshing pages when you go between tabs so you have to find the last post you read.
Chromebook with Linux
Lemote.
>>52692701
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Word but for some reason kubuntu isn't playing sound. It loads videos inside applications like steam but youtube doesn't have sound.
i bought a viliv s7 a few months ago from south korea complete with korean kb for $200+40 shipping. i have xp on it atm but it came with win8 which ran awfully fucking slowly.
bought it to have a dinky little computer (guess i got what i paid for eh?) read ebooks and comics on it and play some 90s games on it but even those games run awfully sluggishly and the screen looks pretty bad when turned 90 degrees.
thinking about installing linux on it and see how well it runs then.
all i really wanted was a decent running small laptop form factor computer like all those umpcs but nobody makes them anymore, its all just tablets and i want a unit i can prop up with a keyboard
>>52692456
Maybe the Pandora handheld would be for you, kinda expensive though and hard to get one these days...
At least its successor Pyra is coming soon.

>>52694236
not fast at all, the keys are very stiff and too many of the fn keys are in an odd-spot
>>52692456
They make still make 7" netbooks like pic related that are about the size of the Libretto and have 1 gb of ram and a 1.5 Ghz dual core ARM processor (though most that you'll find have worse), but sadly no one has managed to put any Linux distros on them so you're just stuck with Android.
>>52694519
If I had the money I'd at least attempt it.
>>52694623
They're in the $75-$90 range if I remember correctly. I really wouldn't want to get one to attempt it though as if it doesn't work I'm stuck with Android and I hate Android with a passion.
>>52694519
>No one managed to put linux on them
I have one of the (older) versions of that that ran windows CE, looks identical to that though. People got debian onto it, although with 128mb ram and a 300mhz processor it isn't useful for much besides irssi and links2 in framebuffer mode.

Did a bit more research. You can put Linux on the newer ones that use the dual core WM8880 SOC, you just don't get any support for sound, wifi, or the SD card reader. The older ones that use the single core WM8850 or even older WM8650 apparently will work halfway decent.
>>52696416
not gonna lie this looks like a leapfrog tablet from the late 90's
>>52696416
They gave me one of those in highschool. the screen its pretty shitty, but i used it a lot for shitposting and making cs 1.6 lan parties in the classroom.
I'd just go for used netbooks really, if tablets aren't your thing. eee pc:s, lenovo and so on should be decent choices.
they can be found for cheap and they're easy to set up to be usable since they're x86 and not something less standard for desktop OS
RAM is always upgradeable and so are HDD:s, batteries also replaceable, though some may have relatively bad battery lives
>>52697873
I'm interested in this subject. How much RAM is needed for general web browsing/shitposting now days? Also, what should I be looking for processor wise as I've seen benchmarks and even phone processors from 2012-2013 shit on the older ~2010 VIA and Atom processors used in netbooks.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just.Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just.Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.
I really wish someone made a modernized version of the Psion series PDAs, including running on AA batteries.
Anyone know what kind of little netbook this would be? It's before 2000 so I'm trying to look around.
>>52703627
I do have a selection of chargers. Mostly for Acers. Knowing HP its gonna be something stupid to find a matching one.
>>52704181
One of the NEC mobilepro series, I'd guess. Looks very similar to the one I have. Windows CE and their low amount of ram makes them pretty useless today, sadly. Can install netbsd to a cf card, but the pcmcia slot only takes older wireless cards(or wired cards, which makes it useless as a portable, in my opinion), so nothing beyond WEP and wireless G.
>>52699490

I've come to the conclusion that the best option for portability and functionality is one of those x86 full Windows tablets. I'm just disappointed that most of them only have 1gb of RAM, it's just not enough for my uses. Ideally I'd like 4gb, but 2gb would work. Paired with a bluetooth keyboard it combines the portability and functionality I want.
I've tried Android tablets, but they're just too limited. Only really good for reading or videos.
They're a little heavier than I want, but I'm probably going to settle for a used Surface Pro 2 with the extended battery keyboard.
>>52699961
Man that takes me back. I used to use my PSP to browse the web during lectures in college before netbooks were a thing.
i had one of these: a 400MHz Pentium-II Vaio PCG-C1XS. I got it for free in 2006 because a friend (whose job was salvaging shit like this) didn't want it. It had a fantastic design (and screen) and it looked sleek as hell, but it was so slow. Most programs took an eternity to start, so I ended up just using it as a little thin-client to remote control my desktop back home. It's probably the slowest computer I've ever seriously used, functionally
>>52692701
>barely smaller than my X series Chinkpad

Best device for me is Asus 900 and its iterations. Small but big enough for decent keyboard. Real keyboard, not one of thumb monstrosity.

Exactly how usable nowdays are the older netbooks with processors worse than the Atom N270 such as the Celeron Ms and VIAs? Can you watch videos on Youtube on them? Can you even do normal browsing without it lagging like hell? Looking at benchmarks, the processors seem to be significantly weaker than a single core from my smartphone from 2012 with the Atom N270 being comparable to one core.

I like the Dell 910 better than those.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Laptops-Netbooks-/175672/i.html?_from=R40&_sop=15&_nkw=dell+910
Same processor, same resolution, smaller screen so better DPI. Doesn't look like a 4-year old's play toy, but at 9" the keyboard is a little cramped. I still like the 9" because I already have several "real" laptops and the whole point of this is to be small. I'd love it if I could find cheap, usable computers at the 7" or 5" size but they don't seem to exist.
The 910 takes rare half-size, PATA-over-mPCI drives so if that ugly HP thing takes full size drives that's a point in it's favor. If you're looking for a 10.1" netbook I'd recommend one of the later asus eee pc's like the 1015 series.
>>52712527
If all you want is a strict shitposting machine, you can get by with 128 MB if you want. I regularly post from an NT4 box with 128 MB and a Powerbook with 192 MB, 4chan with JS off eats next to nothing and I can handle around 5-10 tabs. Of course I wouldn't recommend that, I'm just saying it's perfectly doable.
With JS on, 512 MB will get you by, I usually like to have 1 GB though, my P4 boxes can handle 30+ tabs of 4chan and other primarily textual sites just fine.
With shitty web players? Don't know, I'd trust them about as far as I can throw them, I don't really watch videos enough to have good experience on the subject though.
>>52712527
I've used dell 910's with 512, 1gb, and 2gb. 2gb DDR2 is cheap as hell at this point so there's no real reason to go with less.
Just get a model that's not soldered on (most of them) and swap it out for like $10-$15.
With linux, ublock, ublock origin chan posting works just fine. Just don't try to browse some cuckscript, web 2.0 shitfest like the verge with a stock browser
Still works for porn
>>52712527
1gb is enough for shitposting but ram is so cheap that right answer here is 'as much as possible'. With EEEs you want to upgrade storage, as original ssd is abyssmal.
I wish there was a way to shove a full linux distro on something like the droid 3(without needing to run android as well), it'd make for a pretty nice umpc.

>>52713666
My Fujitsu Lifebook P1630 was pretty good. Had a pretty weak processor (C2D SU9300) and 2GB of RAM but was pretty snappy with an SSD.
It was pretty decent overall with an 8.9" resistive touchscreen at 1280x800, stylus and trackpoint. Battery usually lasted 2-3 hours with the 3-cell and 4-5 with the 6-cell.

Amazon Fire 7, I got one for $35 but it's a worth it even for $50. Fire OS is shit, but if you flash it with Cyanogenmod or SlimLP, it's perfect. Build quality is decent and I'm not worried about damaging or losing it for this price.
>>52714490
Dude after you get the keyboard dock you are already pushing $300 and the thing gets like 3 hours of battery life.
From the reviews the touchscreens are unresponsive, you can't change the OS, and its too buggy to play video games.
But yeah enjoy your chinkshit.
>tfw this thread made me dig out an Aspire One and try to revive it
Don't know whether I should stick XP embedded on it or maybe Debian, or a BSD. Any of them sound alright for shitposting and X forwarding StarOffice from my server.
How was the battery life on these things, though?

Is that only a word processor or can you run a full OS in it?

This might be an option

>chromebook
Why get a shitty low power machine when you can get a used thinkpad (or any decent brand/model) for less? You can find a X201 for as little as 100 dollars in decent shape.
A chromebook is basically a netbook with chrome slapped on.
What could be more comfy than a 12" PowerBook G4?
>>52719809
Basically everything? Is this some kind of trap question?
>>52719784
But x201 is just a small laptop. Anything over 10' is clunky and not really fitting into this thread, thou whatever rocks your boat. I use mine as normal laptop, while for comfy time i choose htc shift or yoga tablet. Nothing beats hot bath with multimedia support.

see the new dell venue 8 pro, anon. The 2016 model has 4GB of ram, an USB-C port, and the CPU will probably suck balls.

Jebus Christ, anon, this device is so shit I don't even. You'd be better of buying a good tablet and some sort of external controlers. Some of them are good.

>Not realizing RMS didn't make a kernel
>>52711426
The psp was the most advance piece of technology when it came out.
Phones have only recently caught up
>>52719983
I guess if you put it that way a x201 would not meet the comfy factor, then again you can actually spill water on it. I use my samshit tablet in bath. Its good enough for watching series.

>>52694271
>>52694236
I can type pretty well with it. Compared to a touch screen device it's heaven. The shoulder buttons also function as shift and Ctrl. The Pyra will have 4 shoulder buttons so alt and fn will no longer be a problem.
>>52692596
That's bullshit. It's as easy as ever to quote multiple people in clover since the reply window doesn't cover the page. And when you go back to a pinned thread it leaves you where you left off when you closed it.

except for the part where the shitty software keyboard takes up half of your screen real estate while the rest of it is squandered on oversized titlebars
>>52720081
Could be kind of nice. Wish Apple would do a laptop with a screen this size and the A5X chip. Maybe they will once they migrate OS X to ARM and complete their return to the PowerPC years

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

The guy in the picture knows there isn't a tablet in that case, right?

My SP3 is supposedly supposed to mean "surface pro 3," but I know the real meaning. Shit Post 3.
You can find them used for pretty decent prices now since rich retards buy them and they all think they need the SP4, even though the incremental features aren't worth it at all unless you're using the pen as an artist (in which case you're a retard), or need a fingerprint scanner to unlock your porn collection because it's that fucked up.
>>52722716
Haha I didn't even notice that
It's 2016 and everyone ones a smartphone, why do you have to be so autistic

Isn't it a security risk to run such and old OS?

just get an EEEPC.. is slow but for shitposting it works (can boot ubuntu perfectly)
>>52714490
>>52714993
holyfuck. 2 watts at 5 volts means 400 mA, 3-4 AA batteries in a series would give you 5 volts and according to wikipedia AA batteries can provide 400-3400 mAh depending on the type of battery. Meaning this thing could run for 1-8.5 hours off 4 AA batteries while you're playing Cock of Doody.

>>52692701

>>52699479
That was the only good part of that presentation
>>52725906
Checking into it now. I looked it up and realized that the old early 2000s Toshiba Satellite laptop I have sitting around has a Celeron processor that benchmarks similarly to the Intel N270 (though only 256 MB of RAM), so I'm going to throw a lightweigh Linux distro on it and make sure it's enough before I go out and buy something.
>>52726832
>X series
>weighs like a brick
I have an X200s, nerd. Literally weighs the same amount as a Macbook Air. It's just thicker because it actually can dissipate heat and has a really damn solid build.
>>52722773
I always wanted one of those to install OpenBSD on.
Question though, does Quake run on it?
>>52695570
Sony have made some amazing devices.

>>52714760
yeah, but its really the best option on the market
and you dont know shit about the chuwi hi10 nigger, stfu
have you visited the forums?
lots of shit gets fixed through firmware updates and the devs keep up with the community in the most broken hilarious chinese english
the hi10 costs 180$ off one of those china buy sites
but the keyboard does cost 47$ on ebay if you cant find it on the china sites

Obviously Blackberry Priv, the only phone that matches that description.
>>52711465
Thats not a incandescent bulb, its a CFL faggot
>>52729287
I had one of the old versions of that, never knew they made an android version.
It had a lovely keyboard though with an immense battery life though. Pity about the plastic screen front, lack of 3g at the time and I have no idea what shitty samsung OS it ran at the time. I could just text like a motherfucker on it.
>>52729428
Ugh, I don't like that form factor of keyboards, why can't everyone copy the N900?
>>52720285
What a load of crock, phones surpassed the psp since forever.

How's the battery life on yours when browsing? I still have my PSP 2000 in a drawer somewhere, have been considering digging it out again.

How does one install GNU/Linux on a chromebook?
I got one of this as well
>>52731037
Sacrifice a GNU to the gods of free software.
>>52708973
were did you manage to get one cheep? there like $500 and up any time i see one for sale.
>>52722773
Huh, just looked this up and apparently the OpenBSD mirrors don't give out packages for ARM based machines anymore.
That sucks, sounds like installing anything on it would be fucking hell since you'd have to use ports, unless you have another more powerful ARM based machine to build packages on.
>>52709754
I'd love to find one of these, it may have been lackluster at the time but the Pentium II PE is still a great chip and if you work within its limits it would be a great general offline use system.
>>52696416
i had one recently that i gave to my nice, pretty good little machine. its durable and the back handle is really handy, great battery life, my only complaint is the mushy keyboard.
Used pic related back in college. Not super comfortable because small keyboard but still one of the few "pocket" computers.
>>52700620
Yes. It can only connect if its WPA or WPA/WPA2 mixed. You can usually configure your router to do so.
>>52710416
How did you go about putting lollipop on it? Currently running cm9 on it

Wish there was a 9-10inch version :(
The Pixel C is pretty nice. Currently typing up this shitpost on one with the folio keyboard.
this thread made me finally get this acer shitbook I've had laying around forever and actually do something with it
not quite the immaculate X terminal I was expecting, but it's still not bad, fine for funposting
touchpad is total garbage though 2bh
>>52734526
Pretty neat. That panel is taking up way too much realestate though. You might try something like openbox, or even twm, if you want to play with it some more.
>>52734705
might do exactly that, was originally trying to make it look like my Solaris/CDE VM I run on my desktop for remote access but I gave up after the icon sets and window decorations didn't really mesh well and none of the themes I saw really looked good
OpenBox is pretty nice, I think I'll give it a go on here.
>>52734705
>>52734781
Not a bad idea, anon. This is pretty nice just for a quick uni-tasking session like checking email, note taking or web surfing. I'll save Xfce for editing/testing clusterfuck shell scripts.
>>52727113
Well, I'm posting from that Toshiba Satellite and it isn't fun at all. Currently using Firefox with uMatrix under Windows XP as I can't find remember which of the 20+ floppy images I have is the boot image that will allow me to boot from USB as I don't have any blank CDs sitting around. Text input is lagging slightly with only this page open and scrolling is horrible. Overall it's almost unusable.
>>52734781
You can install CDE
>>52732306
Wtf is that dog? I want it.
>>52735215
not sure what it will do with the resolution though, it seems one of the desktopfriends who tried it had it working with widescreen displays out of the box without a problem, Solaris CDE for sure won't tolerate any "unorthodox" (non 5:4 or 4:3) resolutions.
I'm also just a lazy piece of shit and I don't feel like building it, maybe I'll try it some other time
