PDAs were king before everyone ditched them along with netbooks in 2010 for those smudgy Fisher Price toys that are tablets/smartphones.

What is the modern alternative to the PDA? Something that has a decent word processor and is portable. Something that isn't a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard.

It's literally just a smartphone, if your nasty fucking hands smudge the screen, then wash them

This. Smartphones are literally just PDAs that can also function as phones.

But smartphones don't have any decent office apps, they are glorified stick it notes that I have type into like a fucking chimp or use a bluetooth keyboard.

anything smaller than an X-series is not practical for word processing
and obviously just a smartphone for everything else a PDA would do

Then pay for one instead of using free ones you poor.

You can develop a word processor

> buy electronic device for €100s
> no useful apps to speak of built in

Best answer so far.

> google X-series Lenevo.
> available on burgerland website.
> not from any Irish/UK retailer.

REEEEEEEEEEEE

nothing, maybe the shitty gimmick phablets with styluses but even then it's still pointless when all the software is optimized for ham planet fingers and only exists to data mine you
>>
>>54876981
for something like e-mails on the go, any modern smartphone with qwerty
this is very short list though
>>
>>54877126
You're not very bright, are you

>X-series Lenevo
No, not really,

Found me the option. http://shop.lenovo.com/ie/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x260/

I'm surprised though, most manufacturers don't bother with direct shipping for free in Ireland except for Dell and Apple.
