I don’t even know who this is for. please imagine using this. please share in the burning pain I feel imagining having to press those tiny-ass UI elements while hovering my wrists over the keyboard

…which you’ll have to do, because apple didn’t copy the one thing that makes touchscreen thinkpads mildly usable: being able to fold the hinge completely back, so you can use the thing as a heavy thick clumsy tablet with a keyboard on the back that you might break if you’re not careful

no the thinkpad one isn’t good, but not having it is much worse. that’s what lenovo leaned after like a decade+ of making touchscreen thinkpads
