You care about this little guy right here, the ScreenPad,

even a giant gaming rig.

And in reviewing those models,

with that second screen.

On these past models, that ScreenPad has been tiny,

it's been low resolution, it's been dim,

it's been full of glitches and resizing issues.

in a few ways.

I figured I'd take you through the typical day

of a dual screen laptop user.

So the first thing I do when I sign on at 9:00 AM

check my emails, and get up to speed

with the news of the previous day.

前一天的新聞。

So I put Slack on the ScreenPad

and split the top screen between emails and the news.

Slack doesn't quite fit on the ScreenPad,

Slack在ScreenPad上不太合適。

and it looked a bit weird when I expanded it.

But hey, I could read my messages

I could easily view all three things

at once from my office chair.

Things were starting to feel a bit quiet

so I opened up Spotify

while I sipped my morning coffee.

As the morning dragged on,

I got bored of sitting at my desk.

我對坐在辦公桌前感到厭煩。

So I took the Zenbook over to the couch

於是我把Zenbook拿到了沙發上

and this turned out to be a huge mistake.

而這被證明是一個巨大的錯誤。

The location of the keyboard at the front of the device

鍵盤在設備前端的位置

means there's nowhere to put your hands.

意味著你的手無處可放。

And on a desk, that's not a huge problem.

而在辦公桌上，這並不是一個巨大的問題。

You can just push the laptop further away.

你可以把筆記本推到更遠的地方。

But on the couch, you are going to be typing

但在沙發上，你要打的是

with your hands tucked up against your chest like a T-Rex.

你的雙手像T-Rex一樣緊貼在胸前。

So I ended up just ditching the keyboard and touchpad

所以我最後只是拋棄了鍵盤和觸摸板。

and just using the stylus to navigate everything.

而只是用手寫筆來瀏覽一切。

But that's also not ideal

但這也是不理想的

because the top screen has some serious screen wobble.

Now some of you love having your keyboard in the front.

This kind of device would be great for all of you.

But if you haven't tried a front-mounted keyboard before

that's something to keep in mind.

Anyway, back at my desk.

總之，回到我的辦公桌前。

I had an article I needed to write

So I full screened my Google Doc on the top screen

是以，我在頂部螢幕上全面篩選了我的谷歌文件

and put the spec sheets on the ScreenPad.

並把規格表放在ScreenPad上。

I actually kind of prefer this

其實我更喜歡這個

to an external monitor setup for this kind of workflow

為這種工作流程設置的外部顯示器

Okay, lunchtime.

So I wasn't going to need the second screen.

With a three finger tap,

用三個手指敲擊。

I could turn on TouchPad Mode,

我可以打開觸摸板模式。

which turns the ScreenPad into a massive touchpad

它將ScreenPad變成一個巨大的觸摸板

and use that to navigate.

並用它來導航。

Now, this isn't a great touchpad.

現在，這並不是一個偉大的觸摸板。

There's no physical clicking mechanism

沒有物理點擊機制

and you're also like reaching over the keyboard

而你也像伸手在鍵盤上一樣

which is a little bit weird.

這有點奇怪。

But the tap-to-click mechanism does work quite well.

但點對點的機制確實相當好用。

And it's a nice way to take a break

而且這也是一種很好的休息方式

from the tiny little touchpad in the corner of this device.

從這個設備的角落裡的微小的觸摸板。

Which is just really tiny and I hate it.

I had on the bottom screen
