Who needs a laptop when you have a folding phone?

Once I realized I was basically carrying a keyboard-less Chromebook, I figured I might as well get a keyboard and see how far I could get using a folding phone as my laptop.
Folding phone enthusiasts have been kitting out their devices as mobile workstations for years now, iPads with keyboard cases exist, and hell, remember netbooks?
That’s exactly what Purse Computer is for me: an alternative to my laptop, aka Backpack Computer.
I tried a ProtoArc folding keyboard (too big), a cheapo Samsers off of Amazon (too squirrelly), and have finally settled on a Logitech Keys 2 Go.
I don’t need a foldable to be my all-day laptop, because that’s not what Purse Computer is about.
