I used the original Pocket for oncall, and whilst it was indeed very handy, the keyboard was not comfortable at all for any moderate or long-term use. The issue is that its size puts it in a weird no-man's land - it's a bit too big to thumb-type like you'd do on a phone, and a bit too small to type with all your fingers, like on a regular keyboard. As a result, you end up awkwardly pecking at the keyboard with one or two fingers.
I think the GPD Win Max (10") is a much more practical device - it's just about big enough to type with all your fingers, and if you want something more pocketable, then the GPD Win Mini (7") is small enough to thumb-type whilst holding the device in your hands.
Given that one of the main reasons to use a Pocket over a regular tablet/phone is the keyboard, I think it's an important aspect that you shouldn't gloss over. It's unfortunate that none of the reviews I've seen of the Pocket series mentions this.
I have the smaller Gpd game console like with v small keyboard hiding and win max 2 the 10”. I always use the 10”. Just got a win 13” dual screen and hence not going to try the keyboard of this. I think win max 10” is ideal to pack with my iPad in a very small swing back.
I suspect very much my next upgrade is win max 2025 if it is available precisely because of portable, readable (old man) and typeable. But tbh the 13” keyboard is so much better it is very hard to use these unless absolutely necessary. But cannot carry a 13”.
