North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

I'd like netbooks to come back. That was a good idea (and sufficiently popular, and probably slaughtered due to some backstage pressure from Microsoft, cause those were often used with Linux, I even remember that some were sold with Linux).
my samsung has dex mode so I just plug that in to my monitor at work and use it to log in to my VM or just as is if its something that the mobile firefox browser can do. I even got a 70 dollar portable monitor that works great with it for camping trips or something
netbooks
I use an 11 Macbook air as my casual device and I love it. It's also pre-glass screens so I've dropped it a few times (from a 1-2') and it hasn't shattered. It's using this device which has had me rethink my computer situation.
I've actually considered getting a small 11" netbook, putting Linux on it, and using it wherever a tablet would often be used.
I still have my gaming desktop, but I don't need all that power to play movies on a plane, connect to ODB II, or read woodworking plans in the shop.
Chromebooks are decent depending on your needs.
They're just called tablets now. My Tab S8 w/ keyboard has pretty much replaced any use I needed for my personal laptop at home
I have the Tab S7 I think. Insanely powerful. Mine didn't have a keyboard though.
Oh yeah, I think I added the keyboard cover as an add-on some samsung store credits I got when I bought the tablet

Netbooks were replaced by ultrabooks. Install Linux on one if you want.
... usually produced by something like Packard Bell, and though cheap, still too expensive for their build quality, and weaker than Raspberry Pi, and with problematic hardware (which matters for Linux use).
Still if not for the latter I'd buy one.
