Lutut687y@oudalally well then... I guess gl hf for those who will buy it. Somehow I feel that a simple keyboard is more tough than that monitor
-
I think it was already done in something handheld console. The one running Pokémon.
-
There has been thousands of concepts about it, even half baked prototypes, the closest to it was the lenovo yoga book iirc
-
samm3487yI've never understood why this wasn't ever made yet.
I think it won't be too great for typing though. -
Battery life 30min, but if you would like to optimize it, turn off the second screen 😑
-
@fuck2code this message has been typed without looking at the keyboard of my phone.
Its jist a matter of keyboard choice. -
mrgadget4267yHaven’t these designs already been implemented in earlier products?
Acer ICONIA 6120? -
ajit55518517yAs soon as I get my hands on this beauty, I would:
- Somehow stick it flat vertically, left screen for app/reference, right for code.
- plug in my mechanical keyboard and wired mouse. -
drekhi18027yBut but but they already almost have launched Asus Zenbook pro 2018 where trackpad is the second screen
-
aquaman2137yThe setup where you use it as dual vertical monitors with an external keyboard is really cool
-
bahua128037yLooks really cool, but the average developer's need for key feedback sailed right over Asus' heads.
-
Cool idea, especially if you can put on your own skins or even something like a htop widget (conky anyone?)
But I personally would hate it... Maybe I could get used to the typing... But I'm probably not going to spend (I don't even want to know how much) just to have a fancy keyboard where I have to relearn how to type fast -
@Linux I mentioned it above too, but tbf it's not a second display, it's rather keyboard+wacom tablet
-
RageBone5906y@mrgadget @Linux exactly.
Has already been done, and it seems to somehow work.
Can't be worse then apples butterfly keys -
I like the idea of a physical keyboard on half of the bottom and a wide touch screen above it. I could have my two git terminals sat there all happy
-
hasu23186yI have a tablet with a holo keyboard. Yes. Typos everywhere. The mousepad area is also kinda small. Meh. It does it's job though so I'm not mad.
Asus introduces dual screen laptop with touchscreen instead of keyboard. Just imaging programming with that
DISCLAIMER: it’s just a concept
