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.

        The Surface Pro keyboard is actually quite good, with the added bonus that it’s also easily detachable.

          The issue I find with the surface is that it just isn’t lapable. Using it on my lap is nearly impossible. Good on a desk though.

            Yeah that was the big strike against it for me too. I found that you can sort of perch it over a crossed leg and it’s sort of serviceable that way, but yeah no coding on the train with a Surface.

            Then, some chuwi convertibles have a laptop-like keyboard, but I have never seen one in person.
