    Probably the iPad

    Got it for free from a relative who had bought a newer model (he always has the latest iShit)

    Played around with it for a week

    Sure. It’s smooth. That screen was drop dead gorgeous.

    … And yet everything I tried to do on the thing felt like I was fighting against it. Everything was restrained and needlessly clunky. It made me think “golly gee, windows cooperates more”

    the original Microsoft surface. no, not the laptop, the 60" touch sensitive table. they had these great demos of nfc-enabled DnD miniatures getting stat overlays when you put them down on the map shown by the table, but trying to actually build stuff for the device was nightmarish and the input latency was frequently more than half a second. the worst part that it ran stock windows 7, which is not made for touch interactions.

    I’m left handed. What’s the character limit around here, 'cause I have much to add.

      Did you love those college desks? Lmao when I was in college ironically they only had left handed ones. If only we had full desks that were for whichever.

        Maybe I’m lucky, but at the community college I attend I have never had to sit at a desk. Only tables. As a left handed person, I am pretty happy about that, even though I have not had to write much because computers/laptops.

      How do you screw up the most basic fundamental things like window management and a basic file explorer, I’ll honestly never understand.
