I have no idea why laptop keyboards are so important to people; they’re all terrible. Use a better, external keyboard when you’re stationary, your wrists will thank you.

Especially since it seems like even pre-pandemic laptops operated 80% of the time from a fixed position anyways.

I don't prefer using laptop keyboards but that doesn't mean I want shitty laptop keyboards. You may not always be around your connected keyboard (travelling, away from the workstation etc) and you really don't want to feel pissed when typing.

Some people use their laptops on the go, but I’ve observed that most people drastically overestimate how often they’ll actually do that. Even pre-pandemic most of my colleagues effectively used their laptops like Mac mini’s with built in battery backups.

Honestly, in a post pandemic world I feel like companies should start handing out more desktops. If I’m remote forever, why pay for a display that I’ll literally never open?
