Same screen size as the original EEE 701, only in a smaller case. That was only just touch-typable, in my experience.

What I'd worry about with this is the weight of the thing. Not too heavy, too light - you kinda want something with a little bit of inertia so it doesn't scoot across the desk while you're typing on it.

I had an 11" Chromebook for many years and loved it. Light as a feather, battery lasted a day and was perfectly functional for gmail, g docs, reading wikipedia or whatever other basic stuff. A perfect kids computer for <$200.

There's the GPD Win Max 2[1] which is 10.1" or the Pocket 3[2] at 8". I have the Pocket 3 and the keyboard, while serviceable, is not good enough for day-to-day use. I also briefly had a Max 2 and the keyboard was much better, but still nowhere near as good as the X220.

> 7" is a little small for typing, but it's so adorable.

Too small for a netbook / mini laptop, period.

If this came with ~10..12" (max) display, I'd be very tempted. 7".. will have some uses but not for me.
