I really like the idea of using the PinePhone as an affordable mobile Linux computer. I can run Linux shell scripts, Emacs, LaTeX, various compilers and other apps on the go. Currently it does not come with a physical keyboard so typing is limited.
I have not found any handheld Linux computer as lightweight and affordable as the PinePhone, though. The GPD Micro PC which costs more than $300 might be an option. It has 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, a keyboard and a touchpad. It is more powerful than the PinePhone. Drawbacks are no phone and GPS module, and more bulky. Plenty of ports, though.
