Clockwork makes several

R-01 is particular interesting for having a RISC-V processor

I was so sold on the Clockwork stuff until I realized how small it is. They're more of a handheld thumb board!

If they scaled it up, I'd love one, especially a RISC-V SKU.

I ordered the CM4 Lite uConsole kit almost immediately after opening that first link.

That's a great price for a 4GB RAM CM4 given what they currently sell for on Amazon/eBay.

I currently own an A06 DevTerm but have been unsatisfied with it. Clockwork OS feels lacking, I wish there was a stand for it, and the keyboard isn't great. The uConsole CM4 can theoretically run Raspbian, has a built-in stand, and features a more compact keyboard. Better overall IMO.

If I end up liking it then I will go for the RISC-V option. Of the available RISC-V options I know of, it appears to be one of the best.

Thanks for linking the review.

That machine sounds great except the battery life. 6 hours? Why can’t it be 600 or even 6000 hours? The Model 100 came out 40 years ago and could go 20 hours on smaller batteries!

I suspect that display is one of the biggest bottlenecks if attempting to build a more power-optimized device.

There are still some low-power cyberdecks around, like https://hackaday.io/project/184340-potatop

Do you know of any with normal sized keys?
