I think launch day - A year and a half ?

Time flies !!

 

[Dr Sheldon]

Had the Fold 3 before that - So had a Fold for Years now - Apologies for getting the times wrong !

 

[Uwe]

So had a Fold for Years now

Friend of mine, contractor who does a lot of work for me, has one. He loves the thing.

Clearly he is akin to me ?

I do not have the money to buy cheap tools !!

Not sure. Here he is, with his Fold:

I must say that you clearly have not used one !!

I have had my Fold 5 for some 2 years and it is far from delicate !! Add to that I am no delicate user !!

Show me a picture of your fingernails !! I will show you mine

You are the exception to the rule, then, especially with the Fold 3 you mentioned later in this thread. I'm genuinely happy for you; most people don't get that lucky with these devices. Screen failures in less than 2 years are extremely common, unfortunately.

As for fingernails, mine don't extend past my fingertips because I bite my nails (lol). I'll just point you to the Jerry Rig Everything videos where he does Mohs hardness testing and I've seen one or two on the flip/fold where he's actually shown he can easily dent the screen permanently with nothing but his fingernail.

I know a handful of people that have them and really no issues !!

No I am not on commission !

Play fair - It is not designed or aimed idiots doing what idiots do !! As with most phones, it is a delicate instrument.

Some are more delicate than others.

Just like forum users

I had a Sony Android for a time - What a useless piece of shit !!

You only had to look at it and the screen would crack and render it useless !!

 

[SaVAGeSoot]

You sure that wasn't a mirror?

My wife's pixel fold broke with very little use of the inside screen. Google said it would be 750ish to fix. no thanks.

back to the windows tablet talk,

I ran a Surface pro 4 for many years. The touch screen was a little sensitive and would phantom click if there was a spec of dirt anywhere on the screen. I would recommend it to someone looking for a windows tablet

Yep, solid line of computers. I never had the phantom click you just described, despite owning a Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, "Surface Pro" 2017 model (when they didn't include a model number), and my current Surface Pro 8. The 4 is still my main go-to for VCDS.
