Smallest device which could run comfortably emacs (alien.top)

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...
