      ASUS still makes netbooks.

      I bought a little $200 model a few years ago. It weighs 9 oz.

      I’m strongly hoping that the framework 12’’ becomes widely successful so that the format keeps being relevant.

      Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

          I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot UEFI firmware and boots Linux. Works…fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.
