    I’m upset that they’ll make foldable screens before adding a physical keyboard “because movable parts break too often”.

            I think cooler is subjective. With a physical keyboard back in the day and Remote Desktop, I had a pocket-sized Windows PC with me at all times. With SSH, I had a portable terminal I could easily administer servers around the world with. I thought that was pretty cool.

            Now I’m tap typing on a device with no physical feedback where the keyboard hides half the screen and reshuffles my terminal output every time said keyboard is shown and hidden. That’s not cool at all.

      I don’t see what would be the value in that anymore. I didn’t use a phone with a physical keyboard in a while but I think a virtual 3x3 keyboard would be more comfortable.
