Half out of curiosity and half out of real interest I’d like to know what is the smallest (portable) device with a reasonable quality keyboard that could run an appropriate Linux distro and emacs and people have tested for actual long-term usability.
I’m looking at UMPCs and various 7-inch mini laptops you see on eBay.
Thanks!

Not sure if Bryan Lunduke’s old videos are still up on YouTube or if he pay walled them, but he used to talk about these things a lot. Small Linux handhelds with physical keyboard.
Of course, “comfortably” is another matter…
Port emacs to collapseos and the world is your playground.
Haven’t tried it, but you could use a smartphone + Corne Choc + trackpoint
It’s wired. There are versions with Bluetooth but no trackpoint.
It fits in a external hard disk case
Ive considered this question too. But I would opt for something other than a tablet. I want to type on the train. And anything lesser than a small laptop Im saying no. Maybe I have no experience, but tablet with no hinge on my lap, noooooo. Im already typing on my BT keyboard with my mobile, and its not ideal. Still havent bought the Thinkpad x280 that I planned.
