The slider mechanism is fairly difficult to open even with 2 hands, and pretty much impossible to do with one hand, even when you have dry and warm hands.
With cold/sweaty/greasy hands it gets even more difficult.
I have almost dropped those while trying to push open the cover to get to the keyboard! :eek:
Now it may be that I am just a mämmikoura and not nimble enough to handle such techniques but I hope this will be both easy to open and firmly closed when required.

It works differently than N950/E7. N950/E7's slider angle is fixed, and user has to lift the screen edge from the rear (from my experience) to make it easier to slide out. In our perspective, this has some disadvs:
- Can not change angle. I recon some will prefer the flat screen
- Hard to slide out, as juice pointed out above
- Not robust enough, the screen was dependent on a single stand/arm...
So we have re-designed the slider part (in Moto Mod, will be the same in this device) that when you slide out keyboard, it will be flat. After you reach the end, the user can stay with flat screen, or lift the screen up to the angle you are comfortable. This solution will solve all the above problems. Hope that clears. |
