Ok, pressing buttons in a tiny screen with fingers is not sufficiently
Buy a stylus. It works for me on a small screen device, easier than carrying around a mouse.
Well there is that.But come the keyboard, my thumbs are much bigger than the on-screen keys and composing email with a mouse and on-screen keyboard is pretty awkward.
I'd just use the included touchpad, I'm already used to the things and they are precise.
The styluses seem to come in two classes but both are more precise than any of my digits. Never the less, it still discourages the TL;DR email on a portable device.
Some bargain classy styluses on eBay :-)
I bought one a few years back to use on my phone, but I never got used to it. Two, actually, one thinner "finger" than the other. The thing required a soft rubber rounded point, rather than a conductive felt point as common on previous years, which were very precise when they worked. Try to sign a form with the new type. I just de-hibernated the machine for checking, and the screensaver does not popup a keyboard. So yes, gdm has one but other things don't. Good thing this little machine is a laptop and not a tablet. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
