I have the Chuwi Minibook X. I bought it because it fits on an airplane tray table and I can do real work on it (since it runs Windows 11). I flew a lot last fall and my iPad simply didn't work with Github and Notion - mobile Safari just didn't cut it (multitasking killed everything due to page reloads on iOS).

Running Firefox on the Minibook X works ... it's not great, but it works.

That said, I would pay top dollar for an 11" MacBook Air for sure.

Thanks for this. I would like to run Linux on it but it seems there are quite a few workarounds needed.

It is frankly disgraceful that Apple have hobbled their beautiful iPad hardware in this way. I have a 13inch 2020 M1 Air but it's just slightly too big for travel.
