The Pandora was my companion for many years on train rides and as a student. I got mine in 2013 in Germany.
Used it daily as a tiny Linux PC and emulation handheld. It has a surprisingly excellent audio chip too for music listening.
Sadly the screen died recently from material wear.

It's not dead, still turns on. But the screen turned completely purple. I think a cable got damaged inside the hinge after years of heavy use and opening/closing the lid. I haven't attempted to fix it but I'm sure its doable.
It's a wonderful little device, maybe I should try to fix it or get it fixed. We had great times together. ^-^

The keyboard on it is surprisingly satisfying to use for such a small device. It's a Linux PC that fits into your pocket. To be honest I used it mostly for recreational purposes, but you might as well connect a mouse for comfort and do regular computer work on it.
A successor known as the DragonBox Pyra was announced in 2014, and I was looking forward to it, but it still hasn't been released. Surely there's a market for tiny multipurpose handheld PCs. I'd take a physical keyboard over a phone screen any day.
