        I think cooler is subjective. With a physical keyboard back in the day and Remote Desktop, I had a pocket-sized Windows PC with me at all times. With SSH, I had a portable terminal I could easily administer servers around the world with. I thought that was pretty cool.

        Now I’m tap typing on a device with no physical feedback where the keyboard hides half the screen and reshuffles my terminal output every time said keyboard is shown and hidden. That’s not cool at all.

          Yeah but like the screen folds. I agree that the keyboard has some uses. The folding screen doesn’t really or not nearly as many it’s just novelty cool. I personally don’t have a use case for either so the more technically impressive thing (the folding screen) seems cooler to me. And you have to admit that the first time you saw a folding tablet phone thing it kinda blew ur mind or at least it blew mine.
