i keep thinking about using the new z fold (that samsung STILL HASN’T SHIPPED) with a kb and mouse, and the experience i want to recreate is that of an ipad with the magic keyboard, i tried one at a store and i was very impressed, you just don’t expect that a keyboard that small would be comfortable to type, but it works really well

but finding something like that for android is proving difficult… ideally, samsung would sell something like that for their tablets, but they do not

plus i then remember that the magic keyboard is fucking 300 dollars

@agatha I understand the aesthetic appeal, but I also understand the value of freedom, the latter in my view being greater than the former. I have a Chinese made phablet, brand name Feonal, from a third party I have a stand and usb keyboard. If I don't like Google's idea of what I can download from their playstore, I have the option of going directly to a website and downloading from there. It's not as pretty as an Apple tablet but it gets the job done and doesn't tell me how I can do it. It's also about 1/6th the price.

@agatha I do most of my work from a pedestal workstation with a 34 inch monitor largely so I can use it without glasses, and for that I have a G-102, I prefer the old style hardware switches where there is real feel to the key movements, the tablet keyboard I have is chiklet type, but I've yet to find a non-membrane keyboard in that form factor and carrying around a G-102 to use with a tablet converts it from portable to lugable. If you do find something decent, I look forward to hearing about it.
