- dongle (Bluetooth frustrates me).
- number pad
- dedicated media keys
- no function next to ctrl on the left
The design looks great.
Couple of instances where I want to be able to type _very_ quickly is when I'm (a) taking notes while someone is talking or (b) writing out a lengthy code block I don't need to think that hard about. Other than that, typing at a modest speed is good enough.
I'm remote and working abroad. Cafes and coworking spaces work fine for me.
I think there are cases you can get that turns them into a clamshell on the other hand.
It's also worth considering, a lot of online communities aren't the most civil of places. It's best not to take these interactions personally.
What reason would you want to be notified of unknown visitors knocking on your doors when you're away? The only people I can see fitting this description are delivery drivers & salesmen?
Further, what if you're home and your phone is in another room, is on silent, or is dead?
What is you have a spouse or housemate? Do both of you get notified?
And there's also a subset of people who get frustrated by having to use QR codes in restaurants, who I suspect would be equally frustrated by this.
