Wish the 11" was more prevelant. 11" with a decent camera, battery, fanless, and light weight would be amazing device
Suspect ARM based too
Tablets took the place of these in the market place. They just don't have (or need) the attached keyboards anymore.
If you want an 11” ARM netbook, just get a Galaxy Tab and a Bluetooth keyboard stand.
In the marketplace, but not my heart. Being x86 I could install Arch and openbox and it rocked. I've owned an ARM laptop, and it isn't the same.
I also absolutely abhor touch screen interfaces. Bluetooth means it won't be easy to debug boot issues either
Did you check out the HP Stream 11"?
Fanless, descent battery, camera, light and small. Best feature: Full size keyboard with a mostly standard layout and sd card slot. The display is a little weak but good enough for one person usage. I would not use it with Windows 11 (tried and it was painfully slow), but running Fedora Linux I can use it mostly like my desktop machine.
