I just find it gives the windows a more natural aspect ratio, and keeps everything looking nice and compact.
Just a thin bar with grouped icons that aren't too big, nor too small, on the side of the screen where I can forget about it until I need to use it. Combine that with the fact that the tablet has a touch screen, so it's much more natural for me to reach the icons on the side of the screen when I'm not using the touchpad.
Sometimes I even set it to hide automatically, oh la la.
The tablet laptop has one usb c port, and while I could expand that with the right adapters, I don't think I would want to use the tablet for that.
@Morpheel Why not? It's a perfectly safe process, so nothing could go wrong. You could of course also ask someone in your family or one of your friends, if they'd be okay with you cloning the drive on their PC.
Seeing as it's an external process that'll do nothing to the PC it's running on, and all you'd need the PC for is to control the device, I'd personally have no problems letting someone use my PC for it. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near your vicinity, so you'd have to come up with another option...
P.S.
I don't know what I should consider more natural, aspect ratio wise. A laptop is wide screen by default, so that should also be the screen ratio. And I positively HATE moving/disappearing toolbars. It makes my trigger finger itch...
My toolbar is horizontal, and locked in place, as it should. I want to be able to see what windows I've opened in one glance. You can't always do that, if you've got too many programs/folders open at any one time, so I'd rather have that all instantly visible down at the bottom.
And if you ask me, most people focus on the central area of the screen, most of the time, so having the bar at the bottom, is actually less intrusive than having one on the side, because that'll always be more or less in the corner of your eye, disappearing or not. But whatever, if it floats your boat, then by all means...

@Morpheel I remember people used to do the side-taskbar a lot with Windows 95 for some reason. I don't think I saw anyone do it since 1997.... I always presumed it was Mac lovers. OS6 had some weirdness.
Jeez, I haven't been on NL for almost all of today and people are still heated in the Nintendo switch thread over dlc. Then we have new threads being created for Rick astley. What the heck is going on in the world 😅
It's better not knowing at this point. We'll say it's a combination of an upcoming full moon, the denial of the departing Regginator, and E3 jitters. Oh, and people..... Mostly people.

I don't bother following the general Nintendo Switch thread...at least not yet. I'm fine with not devoting any brain power to DLC debates since I very rarely get DLC anyway...unless it's free and I have the space. That'll likely change when I get a Switch as I'm at least considering getting some of the BotW DLC.
I'm attributing it to E3 jitters. I've been less interested in reading site news lately. Until we get a new info dump, the only concrete release that I have to look forward to is Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There are other games I'm looking forward to that are slated for this year (Pokemon S&S, Luigi's Mansion 3, DQ XI, Astral Chain), but we don't know much about when they're coming besides general release windows.
Edit: Actually, barring DQ XI since we know what to expect there (though I'd welcome an actual release date), I'd be satisfied with more info on these titles in general.
It could be e3 jitters, but I think it's mostly attributed to resident evil being $90 for all 3 😁. People are indeed.......not happy about this. I'm one of them and therefore, must create a useless thread that will no doubt cause @morpheel to lock it. The topic shall be....... the negative effects planting grass seed with little to no water. How will the grass grow, will it be green, and last but certainly not least, will my donkey Kong land battery work? Stay tuned and find out in the new thread (Don't worry @morpheel , I'm only kidding, I won't make you delete anything 😉)
