I’m looking for a portable, very compact linux laptop.

Screen size: 12 inch or smaller Weight: less than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) Full hd screen

I did some googling and i only found a CHUWI laptop that suffers from an overheating issue.

    Just go with a Framework 13. Yes it’s 13 inch instead of 12 inch. But you will get the best possible Linux laptop out there. And it’s also fully repairable and upgradable. I have the latest Framework 13 AMD 7040, yes AMD. And do not forget to select the new 2.8k display. Allowing for the first time to just select 200% DPI scaling that just works for Linux! So no scaling issues.! https://frame.work/nl/en/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-amd/configuration/new

    And select “7640U - 2.8K Display”.

        Framework laptop 13 is just a bit above 1kg. It’s 1.3kg It is worth weighing this choice (you get the joke? hah, guhmm). If you really need something super compact and very light, maybe a old-school “netbook” will do.

        Like the GPD WIN Mini (7 inch, that is super compact, right?) But really get a Framework laptop hehe.
