Day 3: Commuting With The UL30Day 3: Commuting With The UL30

Today I’m commuting with the UL30 on the New York subway. I usually do a bit of writing during my 30 minute train ride in the mornings because my bag acts as a decent table and I can usually get a seat. I’m still using my bag as a table, but noting some differences.

Firstly, I need more elbow room with the UL30 due to the bigger keyboard and the placement of the touchpad. Normally I’m not always hitting my neighbors but today I am. This is definitely less convenient for typing on a semi-crowded subway.

Sometimes when I don’t have a lot of elbow room I still get out my netbook and read a bit, but I don’t see myself doing that with the UL30. I’m sort of surprised at the difference the few inches make.

I might get better hang of it as the week goes on, so I’ll reserve final judgment for Friday.
