Wow I need to get with it / jump on it. Even if everyone else had laptops I really like not having to interface with a screen “staring” back at me.
(It’s my experience that typing on a smartphone / tablet allows one to put it down a moment & “have a thought” without feeling the “default need” to be always looking back at a monitor, which I’ve come to find occasionally distracting)
In essence, imo you guys are onto something. Will probably give Pinephone a go sometime this Summer to test out as a longform electronic writing device
- aaronchall 5y agoHere's the case I had, a review from 2014: https://the-gadgeteer.com/2014/06/12/zagg-autofit-bluetooth-keyboard-7-inch-tablets-review/ https://the-gadgeteer.com/2014/06/12/zagg-autofit-bluetooth-... They don't make it anymore, sadly. I loved that it held my 7 inch tablet and worked with it wirelessly, and that the hinge was stiff enough to hold it up as I used it on my lap or standing on the subway. If only the keyboard was weighted it would have been stable to put on a table without the kickstand in the back, but that was a fine compromise given everything else it delivered for not a lot more money. I hope your Pinephone experiment goes well. I'm optimistic for them.
- thx 5y agoThat is Awesome & looks Ultra-Portable Have a feeling with fashions repeating & all something like the Nexus 7 + BT Keyboard (full-functionality lite-tech) may someday make a comeback Really like the idea of a low-cost pc / tablet that’s always in the backpack And thanks!
