I think the question here is "main what" device? Looking at the MNT reform alone:
I can't use it as a dev laptop (tiny screen, orthlinear keyboard)
I can't use it as my main web browser (4GB RAM isn't going to be enough)
So, that leaves it for uses where I need a small computer for doing something quick (emergency ssh for my site, for example).
For the Pocket Reform, there's even fewer use-cases. I'd love a rockchip based laptop that
1. Takes 18650 batteries
2. Has 16GB+ of RAM
3. Has mechanical keys in a regular layout
4. Has at least a 14-inch screen.
The form factor is what decides what the device is good for, and a form factor of a laptop but still being unsuitable for what laptops are used for is a puzzling product decision to me.
I mean, I am looking through this entire post you made. Quite a large post extolling the virtues, and yet I don't see one single point about what you use it for :-/
Look through all the comments - I don't see people explaining what they use it for.
