I’d like a portable device with good battery that would run free software, mostly for privacy reasons. Anything with a good battery could do, GNU/Linux would not be strictly necessary. Running TOR or a VPN over Wifi and a browser and fast enough to stream a YouTube video at 720p is all I need.
I wonder what would be the closest hardware today that could do it. Smartphone or small tablet form factor would do just fine for me.
Gaming handheld would give you that. There are also old Intel-Atom based tablet PC's that are quite cheap on the second-hand market, and work well with Linux. Smartphone/palmtop form factor would be harder though.
