So... it depends. If it's a normal laptop I'm not SUPER interested in it but don't hate it. I do use the track pad a lot so if that was messing up I could use the touch screen. But normally I won't use it in laptop mode. The depends is a 2 in 1. If I can flip it over and use it as a tablet I will do that. How nice it is depends on software tho in that case. A nice gesture based experience like Gnome would be great. But I doubt I'd enjoy doing that on windows. I haven't used windows in years but I imagine a touchscreen on it would be not very intuitive.
So the Framework Pro 13 annoys me since it can't flip all the way around. I actually am considering making a cyberdeck with an existing framework 13 mainboard I have and a framework pro screen and making it into a tablet form factor but nice and thick with plenty of ports and maybe a CD player. I'd love something like that.
