Given the fact that the screen slides back and forth to go from a tablet to laptop, how does the screen connect to the keyboard?

The screen is apparently hardwired via the flexible connection in the hinge, which in turn has to joints: one on the keyboard side and one on the screen backside. The whole hinge is collapsible and folds in the small niche in the back of the screen when in the tablet mode. It is fairly sturdy, believe it or not.

there is a two-axis hinge, so the screen slides back over the keyboard, to open.watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMFYlTy9Npk -she opens/closes about 1:40 into the video

I know the screen is connected to the keyboard but I don't know how. I think a computer technician could explain how. I do know that the tablet has a virtual keyboard which could be used for touchscreen operations. The regular keyboard could be used for non touchscreen operations. This is much that I know.

The screen is always connected to the keyboard. when it is "open," the screen merely slides up at an angle and is held in place a that angle. This is not a typical laptop in that the screen is always exposed. It does not fold over onto the keyboard.

The keys are a soft rubber, Not the hard plastic ones like you are used to. It does a great job as a keyboard for your tablet.... a lot better than just using the hard flat screen itself.

Yes there is a screen keyboard. IMHO there are many better laptop/tablets out there. I have been disappointed since I got mine in fact it's going back to HP on Monday

There is a cable that comes with it: at one end it plugs into the keyboard and at the other end it plugs into the charger of the tablet

it connects through a USB dongle, much like many keyboards and mice. The USB dongle is a small/low profile.

The keyboard is bluetooth and the battery last over a month before recharging. Physically it has a magnetic base which keeps it in the case, but you can just lift it off and use it on your lap say like if you want to want to place the screen on an end table.

The cable that comes out of the keyboard is not removable, the end is usb which plugs into the tablet.

Well the tablet comes apart, the Keyboard dock houses all the PC (windows 8) parts. When the tablet is connected to the keyboard dock the screen on the tablet just acts as a monitor for the windows 8 dock. This dock can also be separately connected to a monitor with the display port or mini hdmi port and then used as a windows 8 pc while the tablet can still be used separately as an Android tablet. Hope that helped

It has a standard usb port that goes to the computer host and a proprietary port that goes to the keyboard. It looks like a USB but it is not.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. The keyboard is the same size as the screen just a little thinner. You can close it against the screen like a laptop. I bought two for my kids in Feb and they have had no issues with them. Hope that helps.

I believe the screen flips so that it converts into a tablet PC which hides away the keyboard but allows use of the screen with touch (or a stylus) as well.

I have a regular (separate) keyboard that attaches to the screen - it woks with my setup. I do not have Surface Pro, so I do not know what the difference would be between the "standard" Surface and Pro.

I have not had any issues with the keyboard scratching the screen because there is a small space between the keyboard and the screen when the folder is closed. they don't even come in contact with each other.

First, "charge (battery)" of keyboard, connecting - keyboard to tablet - until blue (bluetooth) light signals ( +/- 2hs)/ Than follow as "all answers"/. "START" Tablet, Pull "SETTINGS", "PC SETTINGS","PC AND DEVICES","BLUETOOTH", "ON", AND "PAIR.... ( don't "forget" to disconnect the cable, you won't need it anymore!"

this key board was for my grandson and he loves it. I do not understand your question? The keyboard is like a sleeve that his I pad slides in.

It closes like a clam shell. The laptop can do all; however, I'm getting older and find the screen size a bit small. Consider buying a larger tablet. Also, I rarely use the tablet without the keyboard; which leads me to think a laptop is more functional.

Yes, you just use the USB port to connect the keyboard of your choice. But remember , this does not come with a stand to hold the tablet up. You will need a case for that.
