I'm looking for a portable, very compact linux laptop.

Screen size: 12 inch or smaller Weight: less than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) Full hd screen

I did some googling and i only found a CHUWI laptop that suffers from an overheating issue.

They were nice little machines, but I don't miss the keyboard.

Keyboard was better than my phone soft keyboard.

I gave it up due to the processor. I think it only had one core?

At first! The earliest Eee PC had an Atom N270, but I upgraded to one with an Atom 330 later. Two cores, baby!

Even the processor (I had the luck of 64bit) was ok for it's time with great battery life of up to 12 hours. But the lack of disk space and RAM (only 2GB) sadly prevented further updates.

I don't know why we can't squeeze 64 GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD in the same form factor today :(
