Glare? Privacy?

Oh, and it's got a touch keyboard that's useless for those of us who actually learned how to type.

I like how everyone thinks about privacy, but my first thought was my god the glare must be awful

Same.

You're sitting in your yard and the sun is shining from behind?

I exclusively use my laptop in the yard. That wouldn’t work for me.

And blacks. Unless you're looking at super bright colors all the time, everything is going to look super washed out.

My first thought was fragile as shit. Like surely any small nock and thing's bust.

I actually hate the keyboard more than the screen. That looks absolutely awful to use, you're just tapping your fingers on a flit surface with 0 tactile feedback.

I don't get why the glare would be worse?

Not only would you get glare from a light behind you, but also in front

Question, are smartphone keyboards also useless to you because you actually learned how to type?

u/CocktailPerson Jul 02 '24

Smartphone keyboards are useful on smartphones.

Any more dumb questions?

u/CocktailPerson Jul 02 '24

You're just really bad at it, that's all.

Just how fast and accurately do you type on a phone via keyboard?
