don't get me started on the death of the 10" netbook.
What's available these days with 10" 'netbook' form factor but decent specs?

-
Any tips? Maybe a Surface but I don't feel like fighting with a locked bootloader and whatnot to install a usable OS.
-
for portability I REALLY prefer 10" but reasonably flexible options are thin on the ground right now.
-
What I _really_ want is a 10" shell that's nothing but high-res display, keyboard, USB hub, and battery pack.
-
Then plug in a "stick PC" or slip a suitable form factor (pi-zero-like?) tiny SoC-based system inside.
-
if Raspberrian was built out more I'd be tempted to gut an old eeepc and toss one in just for kicks. stickPC is a good idea too.
-
Sadly all but the last eeepcs have pathetically-low-resolution displays; even the last are borderline.
-
oh yeah- this would only be for kicks. I absolutely agree w/you that a quality shell we could toss a stickpc into would be A++

Give up on it and buy a Linux XPS 13 (they are in the 12" size class with a 13" screen)? No good comes from netbooks.
-
No thanks. I hate bulky laptops.
-
Even my ASUS 10" is about twice the thickness/weight I'd like it to be.
-
Oh, and Dell? Uhg, no.
-
It's not the old Dell + official Linux support with $100 discount vs same thing with Windows is a nice thing to support. *shrug*

And it looks like 10" form factor, too!
