Coming from a ThinkPad X1 Yoga. I really love where the Framework Laptop is headed and I really want to get one... But, I have a few blockers right now. The blockers are features that I do use on my Yoga and I will need to make the switch:
* Convertible mode. Tent and tablet modes, I do use to watch things or read longer articles in portrait mode and scroll with my thumb, from the side.
* Touchscreen, I use this quite a bit actually, if I see a button I can just press it vs, move my hand to the TouchStick and move the mouse to it. I also use the touchscreen for bulk operations where there is none. Sometimes, repetitive tasks like maybe adding a new list item or editing things or copy pasting multiple data entries can be done, sometimes in combination w/keyboard, very fast with this feature. It is not something I want to regress on now that I have moved into flowing with it really nicely.
* TouchStick - I don't use the trackpad, I disable it and solely use the TouchStick. It is faster when I need to use a mouse input. I guess I lose out on some gestures, but the TouchStick has been my flow for over 10 years, I'm used to it, I'm efficient with it. I hope to see a keyboard mod in the marketplace with a touchstick. There are a couple threads in the forums with a large amount of activity from others looking for the same.
