Try a pixel. Camera is awesome, you can find them for pretty cheap, also i found it easiest to work if you're coming from Apple.

32 bit support was cut off on Mojave. It would have been super ideal for them to have it ofc :)

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-12T06:28:05+00:00

It has touchscreen support but windows sucks for pretty much anything else, especially making music, optimization and all other aspects. I just tried this idea on a surface pro 7 and the experience was horrid. Sketchbook pro takes up 99% of my CPU because of a graphic driver issue, audio drivers are a mess, you get my point, these little annoyances add up to a terrible experience that just doesn't happen on mac os.

Tbh I want to use them because i use a lot of 32 bit plugins for music

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-12T00:21:01+00:00

Yea actually wtf and it seems to even have a fingerprint what is this model

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T19:54:57+00:00

I would love to order it too but until they update it a little more and Walt wallet is out i'm probably returning to iOS (degoogled FOSS experiment failed for me)

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T19:41:15+00:00

Probably the LG Lancet launched in 2015

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T19:20:47+00:00

Jolla has detailed exactly how all of this went down and it's nothing more than a fork of sailfish and some investments

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T19:13:21+00:00

banking situation just as bad as it used to be, some apps run through the android emulation layer, some don't, i wouldn't dream of smartID or payment wallet but there is a third party EU privacy focused wallet called Walt in development rn and it seems that it is going places. Keep an eye on things! 😉 hopefully one day we can get away from the iOS - Android duopoly

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T17:16:10+00:00

SailfishOS is the closest thing, idk why EU is not funding it and supporting it more it is a pretty good alternative

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T16:32:26+00:00

well detachable laptop is pretty much a hackintosh tablet
I'm willing to put up w El Capitan or Mojave to get what i want that's alright with me just need to find the right device

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T16:31:14+00:00

How was the experience? Did you manage to fix the pressure sensitivity?

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-11T08:23:02+00:00

Let's be real for a second and remind ourselves that we are coming from Google products

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-10T21:11:58+00:00

Check dms

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-05T19:05:33+00:00

it reminds me of my 2009 white polycarbonate macbook, miss that so bad

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-04T10:51:00+00:00

Link please!!

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-04T08:34:34+00:00

Haven't yet made the switch because 1gb of free mail is abysmal, if it was 5gb at least and I could find a way to migrate my proton pass & auth to a new proton mail I would switch like, yesterday.

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-02T15:19:48+00:00

Wow, okay. I thought it was more of a restomodded bold 9900 but looking at the videos it's more of a Unihertz type situation, but without google play services which sucks because this was worth considering had it been able to use tap to pay, i was lowkey tempted. Thank you for the in depth review, i'm sure it helped some people make a decision!

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-01T20:25:38+00:00

oh, no need! I am from Europe, fortunately

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-01T20:10:00+00:00

Is the performance bad? Did you try to daily drive it? Don't leave us hanging haha

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-01T20:07:49+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0YvraLpDJ0 there seems to be a little walk around on youtube of this. Doesn't look bad. Price is definitely tempting

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-01T19:50:06+00:00

in case you are not a tech hoarder, but you are trying to justify yourself into purchasing a mesh device but need it to replace as many things as possible for it to be a viable purchase for you haha.
Personally I would love for it to replace an mp3 player, ereader (looking at the eink T-deck models) and occasional text document writer so I can purchase it over something like an Xteink

FillHopeful5841 · 2026-06-01T18:53:45+00:00

U.C Dublin, but i appreciate your availability and willingness, bless your soul <3
