my friends and i all fantasize about cyberdecks and sometimes i’ll daydream about a pocket sized device i can use as a computer. which is funny bc my phone is literally a tiny computer in my pocket. but it’s so restrictive of course it doesn’t even enter my mind as an option

Me: wishing I had a tiny clamshell pocket computer with a keyboard and trackpad
Me, everytime I have used a tiny thumbpad keyboard like this: this sucks actually lol
oh yeah they’re bad. i don’t rly have a good solution— i was daydreaming about a little rfid tag in my finger that would let me tap out things in morse code
These days there's a variety of two-fold/tri-fold keyboards that you can stick in a pocket/bag, though the quality is roughly that of a cheap laptop.
Some people build themselves foldable mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches, but that's higher-effort.
There is also a "keyboard sandwich" design called ErgoTravelXT.
this is super cool and also like, too large and too thick to be what i'd call 'pocketable' and in just the formfactor where i'd kind of wish i was just bringing a normal laptop with me if i'm putting it in a bag anyway.
