I would dl hundreds of new songs and listen to them while driving. the tactile controls meant I could seek and skip through the songs. I could also rate songs without having to look at the device... this allowed me to research the song later when I was at my computer
>>53761836
because nobody asked for another netbook/chromebook, Lenovo. They asked for this.
The HP Jornada form factor needs to come back. I know there are Chinese Atom netbooks in that size, and even a Fujitsu ARM netbook, but it's difficult to judge the quality of those things.
Maybe I really just want Lenovo to sell. Thinkpads without touch pads again.

Watercolor. Single-handedly the BEST Windows theme.
Supercomputers that look like something other than an overgrown shitbox cluster in a bunch of nondescript black racks with a shitty decal on them
I still like physical qwerty keyboards in phones.

>I know there are Chinese Atom netbooks in that size, and even a Fujitsu ARM netbook
Those don't come close, they're about the size of the 7" and early model 9" Asus EEE laptops (I know because I looked into those before settling on a used EEE). Due to not having to worry about the touchpad and having smaller hinges you'd almost be able to fit 2 Jornadas side by side in the same space.

Cray knew how to make a camera friendly computer. I wanted to be able to take a nap on the Cray X-MP bench.

I forget which company it was from, but our lab at college had a massively parallel computer donated to it. The thing was a pain in the ass to program but if you were able to truly split your task up to use all the processors simultaneously, it would really fly.
While searching for the name of the computer, I discovered that Goodyear, of tire and blimp fame, actually made a supercomputer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_MPP
Seems like an odd thing for them to get involved in but I guess it makes sense in that they had an aerospace division at the time.
>>53762794
Checked the wikipedia page. It states that each LED was connected to an individual processor and would be lit only if that processor was performing a task. There might be some degree of debugging value in that.

My mom used her 15 inch titanium (400MHz G4) until a year or two ago. The last few years it became insufferably slow, mainly because of website using more and more javascript etc. The speed of the computer itself was fine for almost everything.

The issue with this is that it's still a computer with a keyboard attached and there will still be wires to the power and monitor. For me it's not worth throwing away the modularity of having a sperate keyboard and mouse because that computer keyboard is still going to take up space with an external monitor and power adaptor.

Not really sure what the definition of a UMPC is, but if you want something smaller, you might want to look into the successor to the Openpandora.
Personally I don't want something so small that I have to thumb type; modern smartphones are pretty good at that and you can get an Ubuntu chroot or something if you want traditional software.

I wouldn't hate on tablets if I were you. Smartphones and tablets are still relatively underpowered compared to desktops/laptops and are the one place where Javascript heavy crap runs like a sick half-frozen dog. It's basically tantamount to suicide for a company to make a somewhat functional phone/tablet app with web tech because the user experience for it will be abysmal.
In other words, if companies want a presence on these devices they're going to have to write their apps in real fucking programing languages (C, C++, Objective-C on iOS and Java/Kotlin on Android) and hire people who are competent in said languages. These people often write or contribute to desktop software on the side/as a hobby. In short, the mobile consumer industry is largely responsible for keeping real honest to goodness native application development afloat.

Sure, they've got a dedicated app - but log onto their site and they'll pester to you to try it.
I'd say they should fix up their sites instead of making apps, but I know you should be careful what you wish for. Some of the biggest abominations in website design stem from designs oriented towards smartphones. (You want to smoothly scroll down the page? No, you're going to scroll [vertical screen resolution] at a time!)
>hire people who are competent in said languages.
I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about when it comes to programming, but a lot of the mobile software I've seen surely can't be competently programmed, and a lot of mobile stuff has even worse time-wise problems than desktop software.
(Namely something that could run on an iPod Touch 2G having minimum requirements of an iPhone 6s or something, or something that could run on a 2G if made competently struggling on a 4.)
I'd resent phones/tablets a lot less if they never did away with physical buttons. Might actually like them and see them as a valid replacement for netbooks, even.
>>53762055

>>53782660
Different strokes and all that but these days I find myself *wanting* to use the web/a browser for less and less these days. If there were native desktop apps for things like Netflix, for instance, I'd jump for those in a heartbeat. Shit that complex doesn't belong in what should be a networked document viewer.
>>53782660
>Namely something that could run on an iPod Touch 2G having minimum requirements of an iPhone 6s or something
99.999999999999% of the time this happens because mobile OS developer SDKs/APIs have changed so dramatically over the years that supporting an app on OSes several versions old AND modern OSes is extremely difficult, and it gets even harder if you want to take advantage of functionality found exclusively in the latest version. It's not like the desktop OS world where things have been stable and relatively unchanged for decades.

(Not saying Mac is better, I enjoyed the variety in PC designs too, I just liked the whole trend.)"
Now most laptops are pretending to be MacBooks in terms of colouring (Grey+Black) and it bothers me.

With just one thing holding the whole screen on I get very worried it'll fall off, even though it feels reasonably sturdy. Plus it would never align just right at the base (i.e. the screen would be perfectly horizontal, but the base would be slightly off centre) which bothered me.
I just miss the days when sleek/thinness wasn't the top priority of design, as long as it looks minimalist while still providing perfect functionality i'm happy
my ideal setup is a white desk, black/blank everything with no logos or stickers, or pic related
I want to stop focusing on making laptops tiny and thin. It needs to be at least thick enough to have an rj45 port in it. Also the lid should be hinged on the top, not the middle. Makes it thicker, but opens better.
Also want to see modularity in laptops more.
The thing I want the most is having hot swappable batteries. This can accomplished easily by having a tiny internal battery that might only last for like 45 seconds on its own and then you have your normal external battery that you can pop in and out.

yeah, modern supercomputers are all function and no comfort. no padded seats today lol. no chairs either. also cray has a TON of space left over...

my 700m is awesome! Its not EASY to service, but it CAN be serviced. since I inherited 4 or 5 years ago, Iv quadrupled the RAM from 512 Mb to 2 GB, replaced the HDD twice, replaced the mobo once, and replaced the CPU twice. THe display is awesome, the keyboard doesnt flex when you press the keys, and had lots of indicator lights. I just remembered that you NEED to have a battery indicator AND a HDD indicator.

wanting anything other than a 1080p screen on a laptop is retarded
a 1080p14" screen has the same PPI as a 28 inch 4k monitor and the same screen real estate. It also doesnt drain your battery like fucking crazy

I have a 12 inch g4 but the battery is fucked. Anywhere I can get a new one?
>>53775226
Just get an 11.6" netbook there's like a dozen of them, goddamn. HP Stream 11, ASUS X205TA, Acer Cloudbook, Lenovo somethingorother, take your pick.
>>53788902
Oh yeah, and its 8-cell battery McBottomless lasted 5 hours back when it was new... now one of them is 11 years old now, it lasts about 3 minutes 20 seconds under full CPU load. Will last about 15 minutes at 20-50 % cpu load. The other one will last about 2-3 hours under 20-50% load. The 4 cell will last about 1.5 hours under the same load.
>>53788969
Oh, it was Lenovo IdeaPad 100S
Give me a modern X200 and I'll buy it no questions asked. I'm sick of chicklet keyboards because they honestly hurt my fingers after long periods of doing things, and the mouse nub is much nicer than a trackpad.
I was looking at the E11 but I heard that there were some strength/durability issues with it, plus the keyboard looks dubious from screenshots.
>>53788969
The hp stream is a steaming pile of shit though. Soldered in 32gb emmc storage, soldered in ram , fixed battery, celeron version of atom processor. 2016, comes with 2gb of ram same as the old school n570etc atom netbooks had.
Its trash. We need something like the old netbooks with more ram ability and a modern atom.
>>53790011
Netbooks became Chromebooks.
>avoids the HOW DO I INSTALL EXE FILES?????? idiocy
>is still Linux
>4GB RAM and better CPUs
>>53790943
Is there even a 10" Chromebook?
>>53790943
Is still linux. Its not GNU/Linux. Aka fuck off with your chrome book fucked boot loader useless trash bullshit.
>>53791354
Some of them can have a normal BIOS flashed. My Chromebook had Windows 8 running on it for a while
>>53775226
Chromebook + SeaBIOS + Linux
Post more cute UMPCs
>>53791439
Fuck Chromebooks anyway. Like I really want permanent Google botnet branding on the top of my laptop for all eternity.
>>53791996
I hate the look of nearly every vista era laptop, except the dell studios
they were comfy
>>53791354
It's GNU/Linux with Chrome in fullscreen mode instead of an X server. You even have portage in developer mode. The bootloader is Coreboot+SeaBIOS on x86, and uBoot on ARM. That's as free as it gets.

10/10 would hoard in my basement and never use.
>>53792238
Still looks like a giant hunk of shit to me. Sorry bro.
>>53792362
This.
CrOS is just regular GNU with Freon (I think) in place of X and CrAS instead of ALSA/PukeAudio.
On basically every Chromebook in the past few years you can wipe CrOS if you want and do 100% GNU/Linux. Or chroot for real software (which is what I do, because lazy).
The Pixel is aesthetic af
The pinnacle of minimalist electronic design.

Are you sure you're talking about vaporwave and not synthwave?
>>53790943
>avoids the HOW DO I INSTALL EXE FILES?????? idiocy
not always a good thing. running windows is useful sometimes.
>is still Linux
by one of the most harmful companies out there.
>>53793090
Yeah, the only thing that isn't minimalist is the price tag, amirite?
>>53793090
which means it's boring and nondescript
>>53761877
right in the feels anon, i loved webOS
>>53761836
Extremely underrated and I wish one day they will bring it back, because it was fucking awesome.
>>53781441
goddamnit why is this not how our futurecomputers look today?
>>53795592
We were working towards making the world a cyberpunk dystopia, unfortunately thanks to the global financial crisis we ran out of money after establishing the dystopia but before we could set up the scenery and mold the props.
>>53793090
Fuck that shitheap right in the ass.

>>53793090
The details ruin that one for me. The positions of the ports, the shitty hinge, the cheap logo/decorations. In the end it's just a Macbook Pro copy with somewhat sharper edges. And everything I like about that design are actually the remains of the Macbook design.
>>53795562
They are.
>>53781441
It's cute, I'll give it that. But I can't imagine actually using one. Would have to squint to see that tiny bezeled screen over the keyboard and ridge.
PowerBook 140 was a great machine
>>53785172
Blackberry priv has keyboard. Still no trackball but we're moving on the right direction
>>53785172
found one of these in the trash
>>53795551
the price tag has to be that much so that your wallet is also minimalistic too.
