Did I just wake up in the fucking twilight zone or something? When did this happen? Who the fuck is designing this garbage and why haven't they been shot? Also, holy shit the specs on a lot of those were better than my desktop, I guess that might explain the amount of bloated shit software out there.

Buy a memepad. The X series are still fairly modern, while still having decent keyboards and dat clit mouse.

How far back do I need to go to avoid this godawful shit with non business laptops? I figure most all business grade laptops would feature Intel processors with their ME botnet coprocessor unless I got Thinkpad T400 or something.

How do you use a mouse when sitting in a car or in a chair without a table in front of you? I almost never have a convenient table nearby when using a laptop.
>>
>>55758389

Don't use laptops in cars or without a table or surface in front of you, simple.

There's plenty of 11.6" non-convertables.

>>I swear they won't pick up your fingernail anymore
Why the fuck are you trying to use a touchpad with your fingernails?

>>mouse buttons are part of the touchpad with just an outline drawn on
Admit this is annoying but you can find ones that don't do this

>>keyboards no longer have the keypad that you can use with num lock
You aren't going to find those on 11.6" laptop
>>some keyboards require you to press FN to use the function keys instead of to access the various controls normally up there on laptops
You can change this in the BIOS

>>some keyboards even replace caps lock with a google search key
I DON'T SEE WHY THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA DESU

>>most all laptops there you can't access the hard drive/RAM from the bottom
>>some of them you can't even remove the battery
Blame the thinness wars. Do some research, plenty of laptops still allow for this. I bought one just last week.

>Why the fuck are you trying to use a touchpad with your fingernails?
You don't move your whole hand around when using a touchad, do you? I keep my palm in one place and curl my finger as I move it closer to the bottom corner so my fingernail ends up touching it in some areas instead of my finger.

>You aren't going to find those on 11.6" laptop
They weren't on the 14"-15" models either. Only laptops that had numberpads had dedicated ones. My complaints are about the full range offered at the store, not just the 10"-11" models.

>>55758595
do you never trim your fingernails? my laptop has a relatively large trackpad and I've never had this problem
>>
>>55758730
I do trim them, it's just the only way for me to reach from one corner to the other without lifting my palm is by curling my finger.
>>
>>55758771
so i got out of bed and tried it, and it seems i do have to move my hand a short distance to use the whole trackpad. it's not exactly difficult

Don't bother with non business laptops. Get used business laptops and they sit around (sometimes lower) the price of new consumer ones.
With the bonus of being much more well made, ports, replacable parts, keyboards that aren't retarded.
Downside is that the performance will be a little old but that's counterbalanced by those laptops being (relatively) high performance when they were new.

The last time I could use my fingernail on a touch screen was my old pocket PC. Apparently someone thought that using your fingernail instead of your fingers was a bad idea.

>>55757210
Wait. Was is that?
That looks like Zun's style, except... somewhat good. I mean, she almost looks attractive here.

Is that from Touhou 12? I heard he got somewhat good in that game.
