How come laptops have button keyboards while phones progressed to touch screens?
Comments
- In small devices it makes sense to have touch keyboard, it saves space when you don’t need it. But a laptop is big enough to have it, it’s more comfortable and you get more feedback when you type. Even on an iPad, specially big ones a lot of people add physical keyboards when they have a touch one. So they can have the screen on a stand and type comfortably
- "progressed" - it's abstracted for use. phone is for consumption, laptop/keyboard for being productive. I will always move to a keyboard to write longer text or code something, touch screen isn't productive for hat for me at all.
- Cuz it's alot cheaper to implement a keyboard instead of a 2nd screen. More reliable too, and less redundant.
- 🤔 laptops have touch screens too, nice feature .. apple should do it too imo
- I miss phones with physical keyboards 😂
- Some windows laptops come with touch screens, apple wants to charge you twice tho
- This could relate to electirc car vs petrol car debate. Electric can do a lot of things petrol can do, some even better. But the electirc car is lacking sound which is the soul of the car as we know it. Similar with the keyboards, especially mechanical ones.
You can, of course, do not care about the sound. In that case electric car and touch screen keyboard is probably better for you 😃
Btw most of the laptops keyboards are rubbish 😬
- I think the haptic feedback is preferable, but not feasible for small Smartphone screens.
- Wait, they do. It's called a tablet 😂
- If you want I can get you a blackberry
- Physical keyboard get too much space on phones and make them bulkier so i rather have full screen phones and use virtual keyboard when it's needed and with good haptic feed back although it is not aatch for physical keyboard it is pretty enjoyable to use.
- bigger estate commands more comfort
- Keyboard is more comfortable on big devices such as laptop
- i like the mechanical feel on button keyboards, way better than touchscreen
- Mine has both touchscreen and keyboard
- Am I a boomer if I still prefer keyboards?
- lots of laptops have touch screens too, not a great experience imo
- The phone is too small.
- Sidekick LX
Greatest phone of all time 🫡
- Point to ponder!
- People habituated with that
- I don't really see an issue with that...
