What sizes do you mentally separate devices into?  I'd like to get a feel for how people use and carry their devices.

Here are my mental models:

Those are my thoughts. It's a mix of how portable something is and how functional it is. What are your perceived sizes? Which do you prefer or hate?

I edited this to add "gaming tablet", considering how many of my friends have a Steam Deck or Switch.

I agree, especially with the saddening fact of the UMPC being pocketable in promos but not in practice. The OneGX1 is the closest to being pocketable, but the depth of 13cm was too wide. 

18 x 10-11cm is where I'd expect the max for pocketability (for mens trousers) is.
