I do, but if you need an actual computer, say for work or something, they don’t cut it. They’re cute, but as you see above, the limitations drag them down.
By the time you put in the gear to make them workable, you might as well just pack a proper laptop.
I work in a cleanroom. Can’t take a laptop bag in there. Sometimes it would be nice to have a smaller device to connect to a tool vias RS-485/232 and gather logs/teach robots/change controller settings - you know, simple tasks you don’t really need a “proper laptop” to perform. My work-issued T15 G2 is fine, but it runs W11 and is cumbersome when trying to work inside a cramped space or while on a ladder. A smaller device would be preferable. And my work-issued iPhone obviously has absolutely none of that capability, it’s only good for communication and taking pictures.
Well, I’m technically “on the go” right now and my phones work fine.
Phones come with a 6" screen and no keyboard. You do realize there’s an entire market of “on the go” computers?

Brother you do realize not everyone is using SOLIDWORKS at work? The vast majority of workers can do everything they need on the Netbook in the OP.
