Absolutely no fingerprints on the body of the tablet ever.

@@wheely4405I have worked in garbage segregation before and I have seen more wired headphones/headset thrown compared to wireless earbuds or cases. For wireless earbuds, Apple's 2nd gen airpods are more common. This is just in my country in South East Asia, I can't the same for Western countries. My estimate ratio is like 1:15, I'll see one wireless earbuds out of 15 wired earphones.

I'd be interested to hear Marques do audio simply because I've found his thoughts on audio so far to be based purely on what's popular, and using that as a baseline, and often doesn't have the most complex thoughts on the sound quality of different devices. It's not like he's busting out frequency response graphs.

You know what would be cool is if they made a keyboard that had a cpu built in it (maybe like a i3) and had usb c to charge and to also connect to a monitor. Also somewhere on it having a physical switch to allow you to switch between using it as a regular keyboard and booting windows.

New tech-wise, my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. I was a bit leery of going with the 12.9, but it’s been great. Speaking of keyboards, what I want is one like the 1990s IBM Thinkpad 700-series keyboards, the metal ones (I think that stopped with the 755). Best small keyboard ever.

@Afromaki 4 ай бұрын

When searching it shows laptops, do you mod a laptop (remove screen and give the keyboard) or is this product line name and the SEO is bad so we don't find the right photos? I think I misunderstood entirely and you're just wishing for a standalone keyboard that mimicks the thinkpads layout/ build?

I always hear people talking about how the Pixel fold is great closed. I almost never use it closed. I only use it that way in a pinch for specific reasons. Otherwise I always use my fold in the open position. It is just so easy to open and it's kind of the whole reason I bought the thing. the bezels don't bother me in any way shape or form. And I really like having the camera outside the screen. I love my fold. I have zero issues with it and I really prefer pixel software to any other version of Android.
