    No, my desire for autonomy is showing. My Linux PC is my computer and it responds to my decree, as a certain hammy Skyrim character would put it. Android and iOS have the audacity to tell me what I’m allowed to do with my own device, which as far as I’m concerned makes them unserious toys.

    You are of course welcome to disagree with my opinion.

    My argument for convertible laptops is that, if you really want a tablet for whatever reason, you can have your tablet without the downsides.

      Comparing desktop and phone market share is iffy because a lot of people have both and I don’t believe there are any reliable statistics on the subject to use in our debate.

      As for foldables, was it not your argument that you’d rather use one in place of a laptop? If it’s meant to be just a phone with a bigger screen, I guess that’s cool, but I’d still want to have a computer with a real keyboard and operating system available to me.
