Question

17 Inch ARM Quad Core Numeric Keypad Removable Battery.

Sep 8, 2017 8:34PM PDT

Does this laptop, notebook, ultrabook, whatever device, exist? Are they currently manufactured? Or am I going to have to make it myself?

17 Inch ARM Quad Core Numeric Keypad Removable Battery.

"Numeric Keypad" means a device with long internal keyboard includes numeric keypad.

"Removable Battery " means to set to Hibernate or even Shut Down, two latches to remove the battery easily, and insert a spare battery, and then power on again. AND also ability to switch batteries while plugged in. The device must function with no battery installed.

I am not bothered by the manufacturer nor the cost of this device.

Supports RISC OS.

Be sure to google that one.

I'd hit the RISC OS web page and mailing list but no, in decades of shows and more, never saw such a thing. Probably due to low sales or only a few folk in the world asking.

I will have to do ask them, or make one myself.

... Because I know about the netbook that they have, but that is too small. I prefer something much larger.
