This is the first model that I’ve noticed offers the one feature that I am really looking for in a laptop: an integrated keyboard and the included screen at eye level.

Sure, that one has a first screen where the screen usually is (next to the keyboard), and that’s certainly useful. However, the possibility of not straining my neck is by far where most laptops fail. That’s why so many people use either one of those stands and separate keyboard, or a whole different screen and close and plug their laptop into a desk setup: better keyboard, sure, but it helps less than a well-positioned one; bigger screen, not sure that counts when you want to focus.

I use a separate screen from time to time (for presentation, I either need a separate viewing angle or some remote screen sharing like Zoom works better that way). However, I initially bought those to set them up higher while traveling, and it’s practically impossible to do without a heavy stand. Hotel rooms or café tables don’t have the support I need.

This model could. I’m very excited.

Let’s hope the screens are light enough, the base heavy enough and the hinges sturdy enough to hold it all upright.
