7" netbook is just the right size, otherwise you've go the 6" 21:9 Psion 5 or Gemini PDA form factor.
Keep in mind I had an Atari Portfolio that was basically in between.

I'd be interested in one of these, might prefer it with the RK3399 Pro chipset though. I'd pay a bit more for that too.

There's a lot of people on the Gemini, GPD and Zaurus forums who'd be interested in a PinePalmPro

Could you point us the exact topics ?

+1 for some PinePalm
As someone who turns on one of those Osaris PDAs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaris) once every year-or-so from nostalgia, I would love to get my hands on something in this form factor.Using a 360 degree hinge could transform it into a decent phablet (re-use PinePhone development with touchscreen?) and decent netbook. But the hinge could easily place it outside of the price range. The Sony has a great design as well.

Hi.
As a “normal” linux device this would not be useful for me.
However, I remember very fondly my Psion PDA with a similar form factor.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5
So I think at least some users could warm to a device like this if it provided a similar usability as the Psion.
This would require to tailor the hardware a bit into that direction, mostly the keyboard I guess to support keyboard driven operation and then there would be the software...
Good discussion though, lets see if something comes out of it :-)

EDIT:
Just found these Gemini PDA devices and they seem to come quite close to a Psion ..
Tempting tempting.

Not much info about the software though. A standard Android or Linux would be of no use to achieve the great productivity of the Psion

Yes, psion have nice keyboard, but gemini not. no altgr and not input my language char.
In my opinion small PDA like CLIE PEG-UX50
or sony wide screen 16x9 or more like sony pocket.
