There is a Win98 x86 retro portable new laptop available to buy in some websites. I wonder if this could work in that computer making it some nice portable typing machine - although I don't remember if the keyboard in those laptop are ok to type or not.

If you're referencing the $200 laptop I'm thinking of, it doesn't review well[0]. Personally, I would rather search out retro hardware that would be considered high-end for its time, compared to devices that brand themselves as retro but tend to use cheap components both inside and out.

I think they are way too small for like any comfortable typing, maybe not for very small hands perhaps.
