Enthusiast mulls reviving Sony's retro micro PC — Orange Pi CM5 planned as mainboard upgrade
Classic Vaio VGN-UX (2006) slider to regain its zest with an Orange Pi CM5 implant.

- Cool idea.
- Is this really an article about a reddit thread where some dude says he could do it but maybe later?
I too laughed at "enthusiast mulls."
That being said, I too, am an enthusiast who'd love to see these handheld-like PCs come back.
This remains one of my favorite pieces of 21st century industrial design, not just the basic slider with keyboard form factor, but the little things that came together to make it such a good implementation.
That is REALLY nice.
Let's have that, but a full-blown pocket Linux machine with a decent resolution and a cell-modem and let's gooo!
The term "internet appliance" is pretty awful though lol.
slow news day apparently
