Steve Hunt 🔶🇪🇺 @deepfriedsteve.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As to a spacious layout, I go for laptops that don't have a numeric keypad crammed in. I never use it anyway, and it pushes the main typing area across to the left which feels awkward and unergonomic. Much better to have it centred under the display. Unless you spend a lot of time entering numbers 000

Steve Hunt 🔶🇪🇺 @deepfriedsteve.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I love the detachable keyboard/cover on my MS Surface Pro which is astonishingly good to type on especially given how thin it is. But you might find the screen size of those devices too small. Dell XPS range and above are very good. 000
Steve Hunt 🔶🇪🇺 @deepfriedsteve.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I worry about the large percentage of "don't knows".

Steve Hunt 🔶🇪🇺 @deepfriedsteve.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The answer for the unions is that each member's dues could be counted as an individual contribution, and not cap the total amount donated by the union.
