[6:00] <alden> does the touchbook keyboard fold all the way back, so as to use it in tablet mode but with keyboard attached?
[6:04] <drantin> alden: you can attach the screen backwards and close it in the normal direction thus leaving the screen facing up
[6:05] <alden> drantin: ah. cool :)
[6:05] <drantin> you do have to take off the magnets to close it like that though
[6:06] <drantin> they do just slip on and off however
[6:09] <alden> ok.. perhaps folding all the way back would be a useful feature for future design iterations?
[6:12] <alden> are the devices assembled and shipped from california?
[6:12] * MMlosh (~MMlosh@2001:470:1f0b:b78:6db0:cc9e:3560:5853) has joined #touchbook
[6:12] <Corsac> alden: assembled in china, shipped from california
[6:12] <Corsac> alden: what do you mean by ???folding all the way back????
[6:13] <alden> ok.. trying to figure out quickest way to get my hands on one.. guess ill have it shipped to a cali address and have it picked up from there
[6:13] <drantin> open it 180 degrees!
[6:13] <drantin> bleah
[6:14] <drantin> 369
[6:14] <drantin> 0
[6:14] <alden> 360
[6:14] <drantin> -_-
[6:14] * eugen (~eugen@cd1.cd.tu-cottbus.de) has joined #touchbook
[6:15] <drantin> alden: the hinge would be kind of odd looking like that... and it's really easy to just reattach the screen backwards,,,
[6:15] <Corsac> alden: well, it already does
[6:15] <alden> that way theres no need to detach the keyboard.. though not sure how thick/heavy it would be to hold
[6:15] <Corsac> it's ok
[6:16] <Corsac> and it provides you the full battery life
[6:16] <drantin> alden: plus, you'd have the keyboard/touchpad on the bottom then...
[6:16] <Corsac> so it makes sense
[6:16] <alden> yeah true that
[6:17] <drantin> good luck holding that in one hand while trying to use it with the other, it'd keep pushing random buttons...
[6:17] <Corsac> yup :)
[6:17] <alden> hehe
[6:17] <Corsac> current way works fine, imho
[6:18] <alden> auto keyboard lock when folded 360 perhaps..
[6:18] <alden> but keys facing outwards is still wierd
[6:18] <drantin> alden: takes maybe 5-10 seconds at the most the current way...
[6:19] <alden> http://laptop.org/en/laptop/index.shtml
[6:19] <drantin> yes, i have one of those too
[6:19] <drantin> but that doesn't have to deal with a removable screen
[6:19] <alden> sweet :)
[6:20] <drantin> also, the hinge is part of the keyboard here, so the swivel part would not have a lot of strength...
[6:21] <alden> whats the point of removable screen tho
[6:21] <alden> given that the keyboard dosent add too much weight and is easy to grip..
[6:21] <Corsac> alden: it does add
[6:22] <Corsac> alden: remember there's a battery there
[6:22] <alden> yeah.. and the counterweights..
[6:22] <Corsac> no counterweights
[6:22] <drantin> there are counterweights?
[6:22] <alden> no?
[6:22] <drantin> nay!
[6:23] <drantin> well, there's a mod for that iirc
[6:23] <Corsac> yeah they don't add weight
[6:24] <alden> yeah.. as long as the keyboard is heavy enough to hold the screen at an obtuse angle without it falling back
[6:24] <drantin> hehe
[6:24] * drantin chuckles more
[6:25] * richardrebel (~richardre@70.19.125.102) has joined #touchbook
[6:25] <drantin> alden: there's an attachment for the keyboard that goes on the back end to prop it up while the screen is at those angles, but i don't have one
[6:25] <drantin> it was designed after i got mine, and i wasn't able to request one due to how i got my touchbook...

[6:27] * mcr (~mcr@2001:4830:16ca:1:20d:60ff:fefa:7f03) has joined #touchbook
[6:27] <drantin> ie, i bought it from my dad as he wasn't ready for the beta nature of the software. and he deleted all emails related to it and no longer had the order number. etc
[6:28] <alden> people still delete emails?
[6:29] <alden> ;)
[6:29] <drantin> not me
[6:30] <alden> drantin: did u try contacting ai support to maybe resend the order no. ?
[6:31] <alden> drantin: perhaps theyd be able to track it using ur credit card no.
[6:31] <drantin> briefly in here, but it didn't affect me so much so i didn't try too hard
