@arstechnica Just thinking how Surface 1 flat keyboards went horribly wrong. Laptops gotta be good for typing things right? At least better than smartphones to that end.

@arstechnica Until I can roll up a display like a magic the gathering style play mat and plug it in through hdmi/dp/usb-c you can keep it.

@arstechnica I’d need to buy an external keyboard for a laptop so I have actual keys? That’s not a laptop built for productivity.

@arstechnica So laptop but remove the hinges and rename it to 'foldable' for marketing push? Got it.

@arstechnica Not convinced about using a monitor as a keyboard, but I'd be interested in a foldable portable monitor.
