As I understand it, battery performance can be somewhat configurable on these, eg by adjusting BIOS settings for thermal controls to keep the CPU throttled.

If you don't mind the lack of gaming controls, they have some Pentium N6000-based models. The P2 Max (2022) with this claims 8 hours continuous 1080p playback.

Still expensive though - would be great to see a more terminal-focused version with a lower power CPU and screen for a few hundred, and presumably a battery life measured in days.

Most of their products I would consider too big for thumb typing while standing.

The Micro PC seems about right though with a 6in screen.

Apparently not for sale new anymore, and it seemed expensive when it was.

FWIW, I'm a pretty tall dude and have pretty big hands, and the GPD Win 2's buttons don't bother me at all.
