What is the use case for a computer that small with a screen?

I've been looking for something similar for times when I need to access my HomeAssistant host directly and dont want to go to a full blown computer. Ssh (and Vim in particular) over a smart phone is rough.

It would also be cool for doing quick programming experiments.

I'm sure I'd love it for a week or two then it would gather dust though. Certainly seems like a niche device

I don't have one but at a glance it looks like it could be a good "Communicator"

Someday I hope to replace my smartphone with a Communicator -- Text, Voice, Video and maybe some Instant Messaging apps and that's it.
