I also have a stack of thinkpads. When I need to travel, I grab one. At that price, I am not concerned about forgetting it in the plane, or a thief. And thinkpads do swivel!

I agree with your analysis of small computers ; besides all the things you list, I would love to see an eink display. In fact, a swivel with 2 screens would be ideal: one eink, one lcd.

A small run can now be done for cheap, and there is demand. Hopefully, someone will want to make a nice profit and deliver what we want.
