Pretty weak tbh but the idea was good

>I walked into an ASUS store
there's your problem @porco
it extra doesn't work in taiwan because people pronounce "asus" as "uh soos" here
Uh sauce
I wanted to buy a laptop in Taiwan but once I arrived it wasn't available on pchome anymore. Also, Taichung sucks for electronics and I won't be back in Taipei this year
I wanted the Lenovo 120s. Why buy it in Taiwan? Because I'm learning bopomofo and I wanted it with a bopomofo keyboard
So I went to the Asus store since there's a 11" vivo which is similar cheap but they didn't have it and I would have need to order it (4 days waiting, flight is on Sat)
What's bopomofo
Taiwanese way of typing Chinese characters
It's just a phonetic alphabet for Chinese characters, mainly used in Taiwan
In China it's not used, they use pinyin instead
But apparently zhuyin/bopomofo is easier once you get used to it and I wanted to make a serious commitment in learning it

Thank god my gf isn't chink, wouldn't want to learn that
>he doesn't chinkshit everything in his life
Probably wouldn't say no to a nice chinky gf if I didn't have one
@porco could buy some old thinkpad/dell latitude/other easily replaceble keyboard and buy a tw keyboard for it
>people still buy laptops other than thinkpads
>thinkpads >lenovo
>ever
Thinkpads are okay
-sent from thinkpad
>implying there's anything better
Sighh mods
😬
Dell>chinkpad @Millwood
Haven't had a Dell yet tbh
I need clitmouse
same
I wonder if I could make it work with non chinkpad components
like just buy the keyboard and slap it on a 3d printed body
Which I've decided to make since I like my laptop (asides from screen resolution), but it's just chipping away and I am afraid people at my school will laugh at me
@porco that key layout is dumb af, why on earth would you not have the small enter and a short spacebar if you badly need extra keys
BEHOLD
The holy grail of laptop keyboards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9DjJ7sYWic
Whose idea was it to fucking abandon this
moving parts = break city
also, the way that they can't inset the keyboard into the laptop just makes it fatter
