The price of the GPD Win 3 wasn't so bad if you got in on the initial funding. What sold me was the RS-232 module to use with the 41CL. The OP's point wrt calculator emulators is spot on - just fold the display back and interact as you would on a phone. Although not a desktop replacement (unless you dock it as suggested) it is handy for a quick check the way you use a tablet, and is a lot more portable than a 15 inch laptop. Battery life in standby mode leaves something to be desired, but it does cold boot quickly.

Don't forget to install Ubuntu under WSL2 (or Ubuntu itself if you're allergic to M$)
