I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

    That’s a really interesting observation. I totally agree, if you’re used to an input method and very proficient with it, why can’t use it on the laptop?

    I’m sure there’s going to be lots of conversation about the plateau input speeds of various methods, but it’s down to the user. If you know swiping, that should be your go-to why not.

    With foldable tablets becoming more and more powerful, I totally see your input methodology working for computers

      Not sure why you are being downvoted, choice is good.

      I assume that the built in windows “tablet mode” keyboard doesn’t support swiping? There is probably some stupid software patent blocking it…
