Project Z hopes to release compact PDA lookalike running Linux for under $100
Project Z hopes to release compact PDA lookalike running Linux for under $100
Touchscreen-based smartphones and 13-inch or larger laptops remain the dominant forces within mobile computing. However, a few niches still exist that attempt to bridge the two form factors. For example, Samsung has its DeX system, which hides an Android-based desktop UI within smartphones as small as the Galaxy S24 (curr. $799.99 on Amazon). Additionally, companies like GPD and One-Netbook continue to put out mini-laptops like the Pocket 3 or the One MIX 4, which are much smaller than contemporary laptop designs.
Moreover, the Project Z team are exploring the possibility of creating a laptop that is closer in ethos to classic personal digital assistants (PDAs) than the form factors that eventually supplanted them. As the image above shows, Project Z is building prototypes with an eye to modernising devices like the HP Jomada 720, a Windows CE 3.00-based device that has a six-row keyboard and a 6.34-inch display.

To that end, current Project Z prototypes feature a 7-inch display that outputs at a mere 1,024 x 600 pixels. Supposedly, a 5-inch variant is also in development, although this will utilise a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W single-board computer (SBC) running Raspberry Pi OS. Furthermore, the project leverages a custom circuit board with a Ti-92 graphing calculator-inspired keyboard layout, an early example of which can be seen in the video below.
Currently, Project Z hope to sell its machine for $99 with a batch of 50-100 units created initially. However, enough demand could warrant expanded mass production beyond that number, presumably still with a $99 price tag in mind. Please seeProject Z's Hackaday project pagefor further details.
The above is the detailed content of Project Z hopes to release compact PDA lookalike running Linux for under $100. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!

Unable to log in to mysql as root
Apr 08, 2025 pm 04:54 PM
The main reasons why you cannot log in to MySQL as root are permission problems, configuration file errors, password inconsistent, socket file problems, or firewall interception. The solution includes: check whether the bind-address parameter in the configuration file is configured correctly. Check whether the root user permissions have been modified or deleted and reset. Verify that the password is accurate, including case and special characters. Check socket file permission settings and paths. Check that the firewall blocks connections to the MySQL server.
C language conditional compilation: a detailed guide for beginners to practical applications
Apr 04, 2025 am 10:48 AM
C language conditional compilation is a mechanism for selectively compiling code blocks based on compile-time conditions. The introductory methods include: using #if and #else directives to select code blocks based on conditions. Commonly used conditional expressions include STDC, _WIN32 and linux. Practical case: Print different messages according to the operating system. Use different data types according to the number of digits of the system. Different header files are supported according to the compiler. Conditional compilation enhances the portability and flexibility of the code, making it adaptable to compiler, operating system, and CPU architecture changes.
【Rust Self-study】Introduction
Apr 04, 2025 am 08:03 AM
1.0.1 Preface This project (including code and comments) was recorded during my self-taught Rust. There may be inaccurate or unclear statements, please apologize. If you benefit from it, it's even better. 1.0.2 Why is RustRust reliable and efficient? Rust can replace C and C, with similar performance but higher security, and does not require frequent recompilation to check for errors like C and C. The main advantages include: memory security (preventing null pointers from dereferences, dangling pointers, and data contention). Thread-safe (make sure multi-threaded code is safe before execution). Avoid undefined behavior (e.g., array out of bounds, uninitialized variables, or access to freed memory). Rust provides modern language features such as generics
What are the 5 basic components of Linux?
Apr 06, 2025 am 12:05 AM
The five basic components of Linux are: 1. The kernel, managing hardware resources; 2. The system library, providing functions and services; 3. Shell, the interface for users to interact with the system; 4. The file system, storing and organizing data; 5. Applications, using system resources to implement functions.
How to solve mysql cannot be started
Apr 08, 2025 pm 02:21 PM
There are many reasons why MySQL startup fails, and it can be diagnosed by checking the error log. Common causes include port conflicts (check port occupancy and modify configuration), permission issues (check service running user permissions), configuration file errors (check parameter settings), data directory corruption (restore data or rebuild table space), InnoDB table space issues (check ibdata1 files), plug-in loading failure (check error log). When solving problems, you should analyze them based on the error log, find the root cause of the problem, and develop the habit of backing up data regularly to prevent and solve problems.
Can mysql run on android
Apr 08, 2025 pm 05:03 PM
MySQL cannot run directly on Android, but it can be implemented indirectly by using the following methods: using the lightweight database SQLite, which is built on the Android system, does not require a separate server, and has a small resource usage, which is very suitable for mobile device applications. Remotely connect to the MySQL server and connect to the MySQL database on the remote server through the network for data reading and writing, but there are disadvantages such as strong network dependencies, security issues and server costs.
Solutions to the errors reported by MySQL on a specific system version
Apr 08, 2025 am 11:54 AM
The solution to MySQL installation error is: 1. Carefully check the system environment to ensure that the MySQL dependency library requirements are met. Different operating systems and version requirements are different; 2. Carefully read the error message and take corresponding measures according to prompts (such as missing library files or insufficient permissions), such as installing dependencies or using sudo commands; 3. If necessary, try to install the source code and carefully check the compilation log, but this requires a certain amount of Linux knowledge and experience. The key to ultimately solving the problem is to carefully check the system environment and error information, and refer to the official documents.
MySQL can't be installed after downloading
Apr 08, 2025 am 11:24 AM
The main reasons for MySQL installation failure are: 1. Permission issues, you need to run as an administrator or use the sudo command; 2. Dependencies are missing, and you need to install relevant development packages; 3. Port conflicts, you need to close the program that occupies port 3306 or modify the configuration file; 4. The installation package is corrupt, you need to download and verify the integrity; 5. The environment variable is incorrectly configured, and the environment variables must be correctly configured according to the operating system. Solve these problems and carefully check each step to successfully install MySQL.
