11. I'm a touch typist. I don't like raising my hands from the keyboard to touch the screen.

Mostly I use the keyboard to navigate -- forward, back, page up, page down, copy, paste, close a tab, etc.. The touchpad is within easy reach for anything else.

I also tend to be rough on my tools. When I fold up my Chromebook it's protected and even turns itself off after a few minutes.

The tablet just seems fragile to me, and like my phone it expects to be on 24-7, probably so it can bleep at me every time it gets an email.
