i don’t want to make advertising, but i found an affordable product for backpacker : a 12 inch tablet with a weight of 520g.
When a 10 inch tablet is 400g, and a 13.3 inch laptop is nearly 1kg, a 12 inch/520g is a good screen size weight/ratio.
What do you think ?
(Note : no direct advertising for a product, only features and why it could be a good product for backpacker)
Are people backpacking with laptops and tablets? Like for wilderness backpacking, not hostel hopping through Europe backpacking? When I’m in the woods the last thing I want to look at is a glowing screen.
A phone + foldable keyboard weights less and you can do more with it (a real keyboard!), a Linux phone configured to look like a desktop is a very lightweight alternative to a laptop. And full featured, with a real OS.
i guess you are young and have a very good eye vision : unfortunately, you will understand later that a phone to read long text, watch small videos…becomes less and less possible.
Can’t tell if thats a tablet or a cutting board
it’s a multi-usage tablet : you can cut bread, play pingpong, put your butts on it, an umbrella for sun, a mirror… amazing what you can do with a 12 inch tablet 😁
My fat ass would break the tablet
👍👍 fun stories for your fellow backpackers. let us know if that happen !
