Ask HN: Cyberdecks like the Clockwork UConsole

[gtirloni]

Are there any portal computers like the uConsole[0]that you'd recommend checking out? I need Linux (not Android) for working with terminals and light web browsing on the go.

0 - https://www.clockworkpi.com/

https://www.tindie.com/ , https://hackaday.io/ , https://www.crowdsupply.com/ , are some sites with similar products/projects

https://hackaday.com/tag/handheld/ is probably where I would start

A Pinephone + Pinephone keyboard case, is also an option.

Pinephone pro in the keyboard case is pretty fun. I run postmarketOS with SXMO and it’s very capable. It does calls/texts and provides a nice little Linux environment for light coding.

This is quite small, but you get Linux running on a hard to find Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. You gotta 3d print your own case, or find someone who can do it for you. It's not practical for your use cases, but still pretty cool. https://beepy.sqfmi.com/

[nmstoker → evanjrowley]

I agree they were hard to find but for the last eight weeks or so they've become fairly widely available again.

Just look here, https://rpilocator.com/ - there's a huge list of vendors round the world

If you want something approaching actually cyberpunk, not fantasy console, check out the Spacetop AR laptop. https://www.theverge.com/23727583/spacetop-augmented-reality...

With that keyboard it's a neat, but useless toy.

'Neat, but useless' is how you know it's a cyberdeck.
