BG2GFC If I'm just talking about the device itself, my recommendation would be to go with a ThinkPad (not those flashy Lenovo ones).😋
BH3XZT BH3IAS I have also considered this issue, and currently I am choosing a project that includes an 8+256 version of the Panasonic FZ-G1 (i5-4310u), primarily because I am unsure about the performance of this particular model.
ba7ogj BH3XZT I personally use an X1 tablet, which has both NGFF + NVMe storage, so you can replace it yourself (if you have the 8GB version). I also accidentally dropped a 4GB version recently; the screen is very fragile, so be careful.
BH3XZT ba7ogj What is the performance like when using an X1 tablet to run FT8 (will lower performance affect decoding latency)?
BD4WCL BH3XZT The GPD Pocket 3 is a pretty good machine; the key thing now is that it's still affordable.
BA7NNC-JOE BD4WCL The GPD Pocket 3 is pretty good, with improved specs. I just sold my GPD POCKET 2 and got a used Toshiba, but the performance on FT8 is still a bit sluggish, and the decoding latency is slightly longer.
BI1LWR BA7NNC-JOE I just got a Pocket 4, and it's really comfortable. Additionally, I saw 7-inch Windows computers with touchscreens on Taobao for around ¥2,000 to ¥3,000. With a Bluetooth keyboard, they should also be usable.
BA7NNC-JOE BI1LWR My Pocket 2 was a 7-inch touchscreen model, and it also supported one USB port. I just sold it. The Pocket 4 is even better! It has a high configuration, and it can easily run SDR spectrum analysis and FT8.
BI7BST Currently, I'm using the GPD Win Max. The battery life is sufficient under Linux, it has enough ports, and its size, weight, and performance are well-balanced.
