How is anybody supposed to use this shit?
 
Bought a new laptop last month, the return window is approaching and I think this will be the first computer I ever return to vendor in my life.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

God damn thing is the sleekest, most beautiful and lightweight piece of useless garbage I have ever seen.

It's got this awesome facial recognition feature for login that doesnt know who I am after a month of daily logging in and taking a new snapshot of me for its huge database of one user.

It's got a nice little input pen for the touchscreen, since a 13 inch touchscreen in 1080p is too fine for anyone's finger unless they are a newborn baby. So it comes with a nice little stylus that you have to keep track of like a regular bic pen (cause I never ever lose those... I buy several dozen a year just to hoard them) and there is no where to slide it into on the body of the PC for safekeeping.

The half size keyboard is exactly half as useful as a real keyboard. The tiny trackpad is just useless enough to make you glad you kept track of the stylus.

The screen has exactly one angle when the damn thing isn't in tablet mode. I don't know what that angle is optimal for but so far I haven't found a comfortable sitting position I can view the screen from.

So far this thing is next to useless for:

Masturbating
Emailing
Skyping
Accounting
Spreadsheets

Even casual web browsing is a pain in the ass since tiny links are near impossible to click.

The rear camera is decent though so if you want to take shitty pictures with the world's most awkward camera then I guess it's a good buy.

Oh, and the battery life is decent so it will last for all the extra time you spend on simple tasks that would be much faster on a real piece of hardware.

If the screen angle was adjustable at all I would dock it to a regular mouse and keyboard but as it is it's just 100% useless for me, props to Amazon for a good return policy, and congrats to Sony for putting a huge amount of effort into a product that misses the mark in almost every meaningful way, creating a high performance machine that is nearly impossible to interact with.

I never buy something like that without reading a lot of reviews first. Amazon is great for that. I bet it's something with lighting differences causing issues for the facial recognition?

Yes could be that I also think my unruly facial hair doesn't help, when my beard has bed-head it kind of changes the shape of my face.

Posted a slightly censored version there. It's in the approval process.

It's not really meant to be a real computer. It's more like something you would use to travel, more than a tablet but less than laptop. I know it's being sold as a laptop and it's big - 13 inch screen - but it looks more like a tablet to me.

I have a netbook and made the mistake of of taking it on vacation, thinking I could use it as a laptop. I managed, but never again. (However, I do carry the netbook to shows with me as a "backup" - you know - "just in case".)
