I just bought a little HP laptop that has no fans. It was super cheap, too.

So what I'm hearing is that you don't want the devices that are already on the market, probably because you think they're underpowered.

If nobody is buying the existing devices, why would they make more varieties?

One of those recent Windows netbooks? How are you finding it?

(I got one and Linuxed it. The wifi was so crappy I had to compile a driver from source, for an authentic early-2000s Linux experience. Need to test 22.04. https://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/608064.html Love it for writing on, not so great as an actual netbook.)

I haven't used it much yet. I plan to use it to control my CNC Router and CNC laser. I had another laptop doing that, but it died, so I replaced it as cheaply as possible. But as I'm in the middle of rebuilding those things, I haven't actually had a reason to finish setting it up.

With mine I was most surprised to find that LibreOffice had somehow become comparatively lightweight and fast in the last 20 years, lol.

If you're not running a web browser with serious intent, it should be a perfectly capable little box.
