LL on Hybrid Laptops
#1

I prefer to use LL as my main OS and was considering a new Laptop -  an  Acer Aspire R11  which has a touch-screen and a 360 hinge allowing  different viewing modes

Has anyone had any experience with LL on Hybrid Laptops

[size=78%][/size]I assume that in Keyboard / touch-pad mode it would be like a normal laptop .[size=78%][/size]

My concerns are that when using it it will not behave like in Windows 8 / 10 :-

1-  In Touch-screen mode it will not respond to scrolling etc .

2-  In  Windows 8 the screen is turned upside down the view is flipped the correct way
