Just for fun and open some discussion/interest. Processor: Must support video output, linux is for who want a PC, not just a phone in their pocket (Is Risc-v an alternative here? open from ground?) Ram: 8GB min Storage: 64GB (external micro SD should be the real storage) Camera: 1 front and 1 back from a midrange of 5 yr ago is enough, if you want go pro buy a camera, otherwise AI is and will better than you) Battery:biggest as possible WiFi/Bluetooth/NFC as default for 2023 is nuff Monitor: 4k on a device big as hands is nonsense, better have anti reflection and low consumption, color e-ink is at early stage so an average one of '25 is enough Most important of all, price: must be under 300$!!!! otherwise Linux will never spread. Opinion on this? Have a nice we!!
