       | Though I'd personally require a smaller screen bezel in such a
       | small form factor, that's too much wasted precious area.

       | about for a while now.

       | Others have implemented these via custom enclosures either
       | 3D-printed or acrylic laser-cut, but the time and resources I'd
       | need to invest for that are probably equal to or more than what
       | I'd spend on just an MNT Pocket Reform.

       | Alternatively, I could get a tablet PC and just pair it with an
       | ortholinear keyboard. This leaves the option open for x86_64,
       | which is unfortunately a requirement for Proton Mail's bridge
       | application. Ultimately I think a specialized device would be a
       | more satisfying solution, even if it means having to use Proton
       | Mail's web interface...
