gollark: Well, to some extent.

gollark: I want my keyboards and actually decent battery life, not a mildly thinner one!

gollark: Unfortunately this is ridiculously niche, and I can hardly on any practical budget make my own.

gollark: Just give me a reasonably sized cuboid with a rectangular screen I can actually hold - it doesn't need to be stupidly high-res or stupidly high-refresh-rate - two cameras, a physical keyboard, user-replaceable components, a µSD card slot, a headphone jack, and a USB-C port or two. Also, a customizable GNU/Linux OS.
