Lenovo Unveils Laptop With Second, Smaller Screen Next to Keyboard
Apple tried and failed with the macbook pro touch bar
Wow, and I thought old school Logitech was the worst offender in the “Left-handers NEED NOT EXIST” category. But with this, Lenovo is finally poised to wrest that title away.
Great, a touch screen where I can frequently graze it with my palm and forearm while I type. I often use my phone and laptop together, but I can't say I've ever put the latter directly next to the keyboard. I can't see the point of this, it seems more representative of the low cost of screens, than of a useful innovation. It's like when LEDs got cheap, so everything had to have a light.
Adobe make an app that places MacOS Photoshop tool palettes on to iOS touch devices... so the concept of using a phone as a desktop OS input device isn't as strange as you might think.
