Recently switched from an iPhone 8 to a 11 Pro, which is smaller than the standard 11, and it`s pretty close size-wise but a bit thicker.

Considering I was in the same position and recently switched to an 11 Pro, I now find the extra screen real estate to be nicer than the negatives of the notch. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the notch is a nice solution, but as it is either 1. part of the menu bar or 2. hidden in the black bars when watching 16:9 videos, it's not so bad.

But a hardware keyboard takes up a lot of potential screen space, even when it's not in use.

This doesn't apply to devices which have slide-out keyboards or a clamshell design. The linked design is more "Blackberry-style" as far as I can tell, but those are not the devices I primarily had in mind.

There's also stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_keyboard

Those are sweet, but suffer from many of the issues of touchscreen keyboards (no tactile feedback, no ability to feel the keys blindly).

EDIT: But to be clear, they are great at having a full-size keyboard that takes up no screen space. Tradeoffs.

This is why I pre ordered the Fxtec Pro1, a landscape slider android phone with microsd card and FM radio. Oh, and yes it does have the increasingly mythical headphone jack.

Pretty sure the previous comment was talking about Jobs and not Ive.

I have an X1C6 on Linux as well since launch, but since they added s3 sleep support it's been 100%. What compatibility issues are you having?

The trackpad didn't work out of the box, I had to change some settings; annoying, but no big deal. What's a bigger problem is that the trackpad buttons don't work after suspending/hibernating, and I still haven't been able to fix that. Also, the fingerprint reader and NFC do not have any drivers on Linux.

The Arch wiki page[1] has been tremendously helpful in getting set up. However, I think the length of the article goes some way toward showing that compatibility is far from perfect.

The trackpad / NFC issues seem to only be present on laptops with NFC behind the trackpad, so my recommendation would be to avoid that one if it's possible to get a similar model without.

I work in the simulation industry, and once a simulator is certified for training, you cant "update it" to another model. The customer has to buy a new 737 MAX sim. However, since the 737ng and 737 MAX are common type (meaning that in the eyes of the authorities, if you're licensed for one, you're licensed for both) customers aren't REQUIRED to get a 737 MAX sim granted that they already have a 737ng sim.

Just to clarify: you can udpate a simulator and recertifie it. e.g. in regard to the motion or visual systems etc etc. But to transform a simulator into another aircraft would be beyond economically sane.

This is all in relation to the wing as the point of rotation.

Highly anecdotal but while visiting Lithuania I had a prepaid SIM card with 200 local call minutes and 6GB of (quite fast) LTE data + unlimited Facebook (including Messenger) and Spotify for 3 Euros for 30 days, SIM card included.

I run linux, have the latest BIOS, but it is not the NFC model, with the "HDR" screen and i7-8650U. I idle around 43C and my fan is completely off under 50ish, at which point it (very silently) ramps up. I get 8-10 hours of battery life, and the screen is fantastic (and very very bright). However the speakers are worst than a 200$ smartphones. No issue with the trackpad as it is a non-NFC model.

I suggest OP revises his configuration...
