One of my friends uses a GPD Pocket 3, which is an 8-inch computer that's small enough to fit in your pocket, with a full keyboard, touchpad, and touchscreen that swivels to become a tablet. It's pretty nifty. https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket3

I have a keyboard that I've attached a guitar strap to, in order to be able to type while standing, without a table to rest the keyboard on.
I miss the Sidekick, myself. Was the perfect device for writing while standing. Physical keyboard and a big-ish screen, with the form of a modern smartphone.
The swivel design made finding a decent case tough though. And there were few apps.
GPD P2 Max 2022. The world's smallest Ultrabook: https://gpd.hk/gpdp2max2022
Pocket max in the pelican was just on the other side of that threshold.
The benefit of the pocket 2 is the full windows/linux installation alongside the usable qwerty keyboard.
Corp would never let a Chinese created device on network.
I have an iPad and even there without a mouse plugged in, the editing experience is poor.
But I wouldn't underestimate how big a difference it is. One difference between a folding phone and an iPad, is that I can reach every part of my screen with my thumbs still in their resting position. It feels a lot more ergonomic to have an 8 inch 4:3 screen than a larger 16:10 screen that requires hands gymnastics to touch type.
Hold to select word. Drag to extend selection. Drag pops up the edit menu by default, which takes little screen real estate and zero additional clicks to do a cut/copy. Lastly, a cut/copy automatically puts the snippet as the top recommendation on my auto complete bar on the keyboard. So paste doesn't need triggering the edit menu again.
Samsung doesn't have a double tap experience. So it removes that ambiguity.
I have the stubbiest fingers I know and I type a lot ; as my HN profile bears witness. So I have heavily user-tested this experience that I claim to love so much.
