Clamshell/QWERTY options

[thegman#CB]

Hi all,
Simple question: I have a Galaxy Note 10.1. I think I'd like to trade in for something with a keyboard and something a fair bit smaller. The Sharp IS01 looks ideal for me, but I understand it's not available outside of Asia.

What are my options for small Android devices, running a reasonably modern version, with keyboards, with a cellular modem? Basically I want a Sharp IS01 which works in Australia. What are my options?

Thanks a lot

Garry

How about the Nexus 7 4G LTE combined with a keyboard case like this one: Rakuten.com - Fintie Folio Keyboard Case for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen 2013 Android Tablet With Removable Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard Built-in Stand - Purple

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not interested in BT keyboards/stands, I basically want a tiny Android laptop, with a proper hinge, no flappy stands etc. I mostly use my tablet on my lap, so stands don't work very well.

Unfortunately, in the US, the only clamshell Android devices that are around 7" and reminiscent of a netbook are pretty awful, with 3rd tier brands like Craig and Sylvania. Here's an example:

I'm not overly familiar with the Australian market, though. Good luck!

I had suspected as much, no biggie, will probably stick with the Galaxy Note for the moment then.
