I really want a Linux mini-laptop with long battery life. The PinePhone is so far the closest thing to this dream.
These two are complete deal-breakers for me. That just means that I still need to carry a phone with me for connectivity, and if I need the phone anyway, why not use the phone's bigger screen? So essentially the PineCom becomes a very expensive keyboard.
Maybe I don't understand the target group for this device. Could you clarify that?
For me to be attractive it needs a modem (not necessarily the same as the PinePhone) and a ~7" screen.
Quote:Unlike the PinePhone however, the PineCom will not feature a modem but rather rely on WiFi, IoT LoRa and LoRaWan for communications. The device will also be smaller at (5” LCD panel or less)
