Yes, that stuff gets cheaper all the time.
Depending on what you wants do with it, but if you use it only for surfing email and text writing a raspberry pi is even much more affordable for this kind of work.

I actually do have a Raspberry pi driving a small display. I'm really planning to use it as part of a UV LED exposure box for alt-process, but I fell into the typical nerd trap and decided that I needed a GUI to set the time so I started playing with GUI authoring tools like Tkinter and even got hold of a community (ie free) version of QT, which might be a bit of overkill considering that it's used to develop the GUI's for automobiles, and dived down the rabbit hole.

Oh well, it's all a learning experience I guess. But the R Pi does indeed make a fine net surfing system.

Not sure when I'll actually build the exposure box.

It runs Photoshop

I think we are somehow on the same track. My idea is to build a user friendly f-Stop timer.

Photoshop will be to much for this tiny computer.

Were these really necessary? Do they work faster ?

I have a laptop-screen sized mini-tv with HDMI input, sound, and a built-in battery (plus it can do over the air TV) which I used with a Raspberry Pi 400 on a trip recently. Actually lighter than my laptop. Fast enough for email, web updates, some basic GIMP image work, and writing documents. Couldn't set it on my lap, of course!

When McDonalds gave us free WI-FI I used Apple Music thing as my only phone. I hate phones as phones

They are great cameras!
