Even with a goal of keeping the price under $99, I do wonder how much demand there is for this type of device. While I was a hardcore enthusiast of this form factor around 20 years ago, I’d probably have a hard time justifying spending money on a modern device with a sluggish processor, small screen, and physical keyboard when I’ve already got a smartphone in my pocket and the option of throwing a higher-performance laptop in my bag when I need it.
