there are various small factor and mini pcs, industrial pcs as well. What I don't understand is if you want to have a screen attached or embedded. some 10y ago I bought Acrosser with Geode, Raspberry and alike is definitely an option. Recently I'm playing with SailfishOS on Sony Xperia X, I also bought Intex AquaFish and I'm using Nokia N9 as primary phone. >From what I've seen you can't easily find something handheld where you can plug a usb - don't know because of size or power. Also those mini pcs with SoC for the public are lame IMO, but good change that it would run debian https://www.linux.com/news/five-best-linux-powered-mini-computers regards
