does it have a keyboard to type on

It does not have a physical keyboard included - you have to buy one separately. Microsoft has the touch cover keyboard, but it is a separate purchase. If you do not buy a physical keyboard you can use the virtual onscreen keyboard to interact with the device.

This Microsoft Surface comes with the Touch Cover, which may be used as a keyboard or as a protective cover for the Surface tablet when you're carrying it from place to place. Unlike the more expensive Type Cover, the Touch Cover keys don't move when you type. I have mixed feelings about the Touch Cover--it's hard for me to type as fast as I do on a traditional keyboard. However, the good news is that you may plug a traditional Windows keyboard with moveable keys into the USB port on the side of the Surface tablet. This seems to me to be a better solution than purchasing the more expensive Type Cover--especially if, like me, you've got some old Windows keyboards lying around.

No there is not. It is a very good keyboard though, just remember that it is small so you won't be setting any new speed records for typing on it.

no, and the keyboard is not a full keyboard, what I mean is it does not have all the functions a regular keyboard has.

No it doesn't, but does have an onboard keyboard. The thing is pretty responsive and I have been pleased with it.

No keyboard. The only way to "type" anything is to use the same numeric buttons you use for making a phone call - very tedious when texting!!

It does not come with a keyboard but you can buy a third party keyboard to use with it. By the way, i bought this unit and returned it in couple days. Spend your money on a Sony instead of this one.... This one is terrible, you can get Sony for the same price and work way better...

No but you can find it on here. I recommend the Type 2 keyboard. It is very close to the feel of a real keyboard and is even back-lit.

It does not come with keyboard but it's a great tablet but you can buy a keyboard for a pretty good price just have to look.

Yes there is an actual keyboard in front of the computer. There is also a keyboard on the touchscreen, you can use either one.

It has a touch screen and I got the keyboard sold separately. I seldom use the keyboard but use the Touchscreen most.

The one I have does not - but that said, I've been very pleased with its performance, love the keyboard and the "case" functionality, well worth the $.

It does. Basically you touch the field / area where the text would be typed and an on screen keyboard will appear to type with.

Yes, it has keyboard support. Please note that the tablet should connect the keyboard case with an OTG cable. And there is a compatible keyboard case recommended on our site in Amazon(please click the link: Alldaymall(TM) 7" Tablet Faux Leather Carrying Case with USB Keyboard (Black) ).

Yes it does have a keyboard that lights up. But please be aware the keyboard is not the best, as noted on other reviews it has a large amount of flex on the left side around the letter "D".

Yes there is an on screen keyboard and a reasonable size. Suggest you visit the High Street to see for yourself. Hope that helps.
