Arthur, Oleg and Pierre use Asus UX31A; I have a MBA. I did the first kernel in qemu, but Pierre got an EFI boot going with Intel modesetting pretty quickly.

I'm more interested in smaller devices though (ARM, etc).

So is a laptop like the UX31A or the MBA actually usable as a laptop with kOS yet? I imagine power management is going to be complicated to implement, if you haven't gotten to that yet.

Yes. I imagine a smartphone with a very low-power processor and a couple orders of magnitude less RAM than the mainstream models could have very impressive battery life.
