Nope. Open, Twist, Close. No change in viewpoint.

Every other 2:1 tablet requires changing perspective. Like walking into a different room and forgetting what you wanted to do.

So built a t-hinge keyboard for the detachable, et cetera.

The results are in: Nothing on the market equates to the elegant simplicity, adaptability and haptic qualities of a detachable done right, which can be used as a tablet (with or without an external keyboard), or in several laptop modes (depending on the implementation of the keyboard attachment, e. g. with or without t-hinge), or just/also as a screen when connecting a expandable dock/computer (e. g. Nintendo Switch-like). A machine in that form factor can scale from smartphone-sized to a ~13-incher; everything above is too big and cumbersome.

Besides, as the other chap in the thread mentioned, the X61T is a superior chassis to the X230T anyway. :)
