I’ve been thinking of this subject and now I can answer it.
I am a grad student in engineering. I spend most of the time reading pdf files (portrait letter or A4 sized). Current fw 13 is a good machine to test any tools that I develop, but is not perfect for reading documents. So I was hoping to get 2in1 laptop to use it in portrait screen format and run Linux.
For your information, I listed the facts that I considered here.
- Accessible portrait screen options: I could rotate screens of fw 13, but it was a bit awkward because I couldn’t do with default keyboards. My best was to spread it as if it was a book (so screen to the right side of hinge and keyboard to the left) It was totally ridiculous and not really practical. (Attached photo)
- Linux machines: Current tablet PCs are mostly running mobile OS, and those cannot meet my requirements, because I need linux desktop distros in some reasons.
- Upgradability: There are a few linux tablets and 2in1s out there, but they are not upgradable.
So definitely fw12 (yay)
