I went on a potentially unuseful search for something small to play or emulate DOS games. Keyboard would make things way more practical. Realistically if it was a umpc phone that would be perfect but those don't seem to exist anymore.
The latest attempt was an eeepc 901 which can run dosbox ok. Cheap and 8" A lot of things run well but not quite Pentium level (terminal velocity on Pentium graphics pushes it with a little skipped framed).
Was sort of after a pocket sized solution. Playing maybe up to 486 games like civilization but curious what others have thought about this or if the answer is just phones and full size laptops.

Perhaps a simple Android tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard would fit the bill? There seems to be a build of Dosbox in the Play Store.

There are DosBOX builds for Raspberry Pi computers, and there are also kits that provide a laptop-like experience for them with a screen and keyboard. May be worth a shot.
I still run actual DOS computers. A generic 486 or pentium can usually be had
on ebay/craigslist/facebook marketplace for under $100.
