"A few days ago, I took a 15 minute walk to a nearby coffee shop thinking I had my new folding keyboard in my bag - the key ingredient that would turn the Galaxy Z Fold 7 into a mobile workstation. I spent the whole trip congratulating myself on how light it felt compared to carrying my MacBook. "It's almost like it's not there," I thought."
"After using every major phone of 2025 in succession, early 2026 has allowed me some time to revisit some of my favorites. While I eagerly await the arrival of the Galaxy Z Trifold, I started carrying the Z Fold 7, which is so slim and light it effectively comes with all the benefits of a folding phone, with none of the usual weight and size penalties."
The Purse Computer pairs a lightweight travel keyboard with a foldable phone to function as a laptop alternative. A Galaxy Z Fold 7 can serve as a mobile workstation when combined with a portable keyboard, delivering a slim, light package without typical folding-phone weight penalties. Forgetting the keyboard during a short trip forced reliance on thumbs for emails and highlighted the setup's practical limits. Folding-phone enthusiasts have been adapting devices as mobile workstations for years, alongside alternatives like iPads with keyboard cases and netbooks. The Purse Computer trades some laptop completeness for greater portability and convenience.
