Libretto 110 CT (with docking station and all kinds of PCMCIA stuff)
And, now, a Gemini and, fortunately, a GPD Pocket

Great News, especially the official support for Sailfish OS 3.

In regards to the article, I assume this statement below must be a mistake made by Engadget ?

"Performance was generally smooth as I opened apps and webpages in the browser. That's no surprise given the deca-core MediaTek processor and 6GB of RAM powering the Gemini PDA"
Gemini-PDA (Sailfish X and Android) / LG Nexus 5 (Android 11) / Nokia N9 (MeeGo/Harmattan)
Sharp Zaurus C3100 (Borzoi) - Void Linux (voidz) Kernel 5.0.0 - Hardware (Buffalo CF LAN, DLink 660 CF WiFi, ASIX AX88772 USB Ethernet)

I was king of hoping that Planet forgot to tellus they had increased the RAM by 50 percent. I guess it is more likely that the Engadget writer made a mistake . . .

Unfortunately it's most probably a typo, since the Helio X27 supports max 4GB: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mediatek/helio/mt6797x
