How bad is tablet mode for the keyboard?

As stated in a previous thread, i am thinking of getting the new Flex 3. One concern i have is what happens with the keyboard when it is flipped in to tablet mode. I know that the keys lock, but I was hoping they retracted too. According to Lenovo, they dont retract, they just lock. Has anyone used one of the earlier model Yogas or something similar? Did you have an issue with the keyboard? Are the keys likely to get damaged?
Also I know that there are cases that are meant to protect the keyboard, but i couldnt find any from lenovo that were 15 inches. There are other brands, but they have different dimensions. Since this laptop is brand new im not that suprirsed that the accessories havent been released yet, but it it likely that one will be released in the near future?

It all depends on the usage.
I have the Yoga 3 pro and I rarely use it in Tablet mode. When I do use it in Stand or Tablet mode the surface is generally my table or lap, so I dont think that is damaging the keyboard. It has been working great so far.
Also, on the yoga 3 pro, the keys are very shallow and do not protrude outwards. I am sure that should be the case with each of these hybrids, otherwise the keyboard would be pressed all the time in those modes.

  • How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

    This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
    I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
    Using a different example to explain the issue -
    Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
    microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
    msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
    technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
    The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
    Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode. 
    Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have  .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
    As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation.

    You could start your own thread.  Then if you got that answer and it was marked Answered you would have the ability to unmark it.  The OP of this one seems satisfied.  Also note that this is TechNet.  Consumers can get help on Answers

    Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
    The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
    But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - What is the model number for the keyboard?

    My husband managed to dislodge a keycap on my keyboard, and broke the white scissor clip that holds hit on...(don't ask me how)
    He spoke to the authorised service centre here in Norway, and they sent us replacement scissor clips (actually they sent an old non-functioning keyboard) but the clips are of a different design to the ones on my laptop.
    I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.
    I really don't want to have to replace the whole keyboard when it's just 1 of the scissor clips that is broken...the laptop is only 5 months old.
    Here are some photos of the scissor clip in question & the where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry about the quality)

    Thanks
    notsure

    Hi
    Sorry buddy but its not possible to exchange some single keys on a keyboard so in this case you must replace the complete keyboard. But normally this should not be so difficult.
    Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the notebook to the authorized service provider.
    The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP!! They can order all Toshiba parts and they should know the right part number.
    Bye

  • Satellite P300 - is there a backlight for the keyboard?

    Hi - does anyone know if the Satellite P300 has a back light for the keyboard? I am assuming it does as the keys are shiny black but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it on. Any assistance is appreciated.

    As far as I know illuminated keyboard will be offered with new notebook series A500 and P500.
    I am 100% sure Satellite P300 has not such keyboard.
    You can check specifications for different Satellite /Satellite pro P300 models and you will see that nowhere is mentioned such keyboard.

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • How to demote to body from the keyboard in outline form?

    How to demote to body from the keyboard in outline form?

    This is the method i am using to populate a list.
    1- First of all you need to create a non-database list item for customer_name.
    2-create this procedure
    PROCEDURE populate_list_with_query
    --Populates the given list item with the specified query.
    (p_list_item in VARCHAR2
    ,p_query in VARCHAR2)
    IS
    /* Name the record group after the list item (no
    block prefix). */
    cst_rg_name constant VARCHAR2(30) :=
    GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(p_list_item,item_name);
    v_rg_id RECORDGROUP;
    BEGIN
    v_rg_id := FIND_GROUP(cst_rg_name);
    IF ID_NULL(v_rg_id) THEN
    v_rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(cst_rg_name,p_query);
    END IF;
    IF POPULATE_GROUP(v_rg_id) = 0 THEN
    POPULATE_LIST(p_list_item,v_rg_id);
    /* Force display of first list element label
    in the list item. */
    COPY(GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(p_list_item,1),p_list_item);
    END IF;
    END populate_list_with_query;
    3- Create When-Create-Record on the block level and write this code
    BEGIN
    POPULATE_LIST_WITH_QUERY('bk1.customer_name',
    'SELECT customer_name, to_char(customer_id) FROM customer');
    END;
    In this example, the customer name is the (visible) list label and the customer ID is the (actual) list value
    i hope this will solve your problem ...

  • How to get Open Balance for the year and Total Ending Balance?

    For a given account, how to get Open Balance for the year (Cumulative Ending Balance) and Total Ending Balance (Cumulative Ending Balance)?
    Is there any function module available? or should I read from some tables? Please advice.

    Hello Paul,
    You could try calling one of the following BAPIs - see which one meets your requirement. They are documented well so shouldn't be a problem finding out the correct one for your requirements.
    BAPI_GL_GETGLACCBALANCE      
    BAPI_GL_GETGLACCCURRENTBALANCE
    BAPI_GL_ACC_GETBALANCE      
    BAPI_GL_ACC_GETCURRENTBALANCE
    BAPI_GL_ACC_GETPERIODBALANCES
    BAPI_COND_VAL_DECRE_BALANCES
    You might have to put in some of your own logic after the BAPI call to get what you want.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Sougata.
    p.s. Also look at FM FAGL_GET_ACCOUNT_BALANCE

  • How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

    Dear all,
    I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
    How can i use AME for the approval process.
    Appreciate your ideas?
    zamora

    I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
    Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
    Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
    As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
    In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
    If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
    Hope this gives some idea.

    You will need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when you want to buy anything from it.

  • How to create a validation for the project coding mask

    Hi,
    Would just like to ask how to create a validation for the project coding mask wherein the WBS elements hierarchy will be checked against the template saved. For example,
    project coding mask is XXXX-XXXXX-XX-X-X-X-00-X
    mother WBS should be XXXX-XXXXX-X and lower level WBS would be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
    The validation should not allow a mother WBS to be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
    How can we go about this?

    Hi Jacquiline Bersamin,
    You can use validation with the combination of the level and the coding mask.
    In the validation:
    Pre requisite: WBS level = 1
    Validation: Prps-posid = prps-posid :1-12:
    Message : Error
    If required you can give the parameters for your detail error message.
    Please let me know if this does not work.
    Thanks
    Regards
