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
