I really like the idea but two things stop me.. one is cost. They're considerably more expensive than laptops elsewhere. The seconf is the unproven long term uogtwdeability. In 5 years time when I'm looking to upgrade will framewotk be selling parts that let me do that? A new CPU board and I'm sorted.. Ot is it a whole new laptop. I suspect the latter.
I'm sorry, but I fuckin lost it at "uogtwdeability"
At 'o' I was thinking "oh their right hand is shifted". Then at 't' I'm wondering if they use their right hand for 'r' but now they are shifted the other way. Finally it finishes at 'w' and now they are shifted the other way again and up a row. My conclusion is that they hover their hands above keyboard without touching and just smash down in the general direction of the keys.
The obvious answer is phone keyboard but that's not as fun.
When I'm not paying attention sometimes one hand will get shifted and I'll write it a whole sentence with half of the letters offset.
If they are indeed using a phone keyboard, I can only assume the autocorrect was so confused it simply gave up. Either that or they have it turned off.
