[Mobhack]

I find my laptop with its swish-plate to be totally useless other than very basic web browsing unless a mouse is hooked up. Always selecting things by mistake if the heel of the hand hits it. So a travel USB mouse is de rigeur.

The old IBM/Lenovo I had a decade or so back had a little red "nipple" joystick type thingy instead that was far more satisfactory. But even then, a mouse won out - so much simpler to select a block of text with one if editing.

But unless there is a way to stop the screen re-orienting when you turn it, that might prove a killer. The graphics engine (which is third-party so cannot be changed by us) takes one measurement of the screen as found at boot up, and that is the one it wants to stick with!. It'll also likely barf if someone tries dragging it from one monitor to another on a multi-monitor system if the resolutions differ, too.
