<p>[id://1044] might be the place for that - see [stevieb] and [jmlynesjr]'s Pi-related posts. There's plenty of such discussion which goes on in the chatterbox too, albeit in an ephemeral way. [Corion] and [marto] have been discussing various hardware-related projects in there recently.</p>

<p>I don't make much of a distinction between phones and tablets - certainly not these days now that phones are too big to fit in a pocket and some are now fold-outs to be double-width. OTOH, a laptop has a physical keyboard and pointer device, a hinged lid with a separate non-touch screen and lots of physical ports on the outside of the case. It is almost always fan-cooled. It is basically a portable desktop with integrated keyboard, pointer and monitor.</p>

<p>Very good to hear. With luck the worst has passed.</p>
