    God never cared for foldables. Extra bulky, two handed, what was the point. Seemed super gimmicky to try and convince people to get them.

      My use case is for being on call for server admin stuff. A foldable is less bulky than a laptop or even a tablet and I can run enough of a Linux environment to get me through whatever might come up. Completely worth the price for me to be less tied down with the trappings of my work.

      Now the ones that are like a normal phone size and fold into a square, those I don’t understand. All the problems of a foldable with none of the benefits.

        Potentially smaller, definitely less bulky in pockets, and protects the display
        Now if only all the downsides disappeared.
