Just tried proofreading a document on a relative's laptop - how the FLYING FUCK do people type on those goddamn pieces of shit?! The key placement is so fucking cramped and narrow - everything is off and feels completely unnatural. It took me ten goddamn tries, and in the end I had to resort to one finger peck typing - something I haven't done since I was 6 years old. I've never been so goddamned frustrated before.

And while I'm at it - FUCK TOUCH PADS. I'm not sure what fucking moron considers it a suitable replacement for a fucking mouse - it's not. And they place it directly below the fucking space bar, right where my wrists rest. Yea, that ended well.

Fuck that shit - give me a mouse and keyboard with a desk any-day. Mobile computing can kiss my fucking ass!


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Pffft, they simply have a bad laptop for typing stuff.

I have a Acer Aspire Timeline X 5820TG, and the keyboard is as comfortable as the keyboard on my desktop PC.

Not my pic:

Could be wrong but aren't there laptops with the touch pad on the right? I think I saw a model like that not long ago...

If the manufacturer doesn't give you one, you should always buy a laptop mouse when getting a laptop. Always.

You can always plug in a mini mouse and disable the touch pad or if you're just typing away, disable it for that time. That's what I do when typing a decent doc/edit/etc. After a while you get used to it and can easily go around the doc with just the keyboard inputs, though in some cases you will need mouse control; witch is why I think it's a must to have laptop mouse.

Of course, I was clearly meaning the D5500.
Filthy Nikon hardware *spits on the ground*!

Most laptops suck. The only decent laptop keyboards I've seen are on thinkpads and a few dells. Lenovo still knows how to make a good keyboard, plus they have trackpoints which are great.

The layout on this one was similar to that. If I put my hands on home-row, the bottom part of my thumb hover over the fucking touch pad, causing the cursor to go fucking ape shit.

Maybe my hands are just too big - but after 10 minutes of trying to deal with that shit I just gave up - wasn't worth the hassle.

That would probably work fine - or one of those little knob thingies. But this touch-pad in the bottom center shit is just ridiculous!

That pic is horrible. Looks like he overused a Photoshop filter rather than using his DSLR lens to zoom in on the space bar. Crying or Very sad Laughing



1 and 2 are still amazing.

I shot it on purpose with f/1.4 so there is a very shallow depth of field to make it more pretentious. Laughing I have the raw file if you wish. Wink

Are you trying to give him a heart attack? Laughing
The newer generation of Acers are pretty decent, at least they don't overheat as earlier models did. I had an old acer

well that too obviously... Wink but it didn't kill it... might have cooled it off a little tho Laughing
Used it for spotify at parties... but my netbook was more reliable so started using it instead

And the bastard wouldn't work in the summer, automatically turned off because of the heat Sad

The laptop iv got now have pretty much been on for 1.5 years without any problems, so id say its pretty reliable. (yeah, windows updates are overrated )

You know, laptops usually have Fn-Fx combination (Fn-F9 on my Asus) that disables touchpad. That's what I usually do when doing some light gaming on laptop (with external mouse).

Still, I did recently bougth wireless keyboard, so I'm not limited with just laptop keyboard.
