Is the keyboard hard plastic like a laptop or is it rubber

Hard plastic. I like this one much better than a more expensive one I had purchase because you can detach the keyboard from the case.

It's plastic, but the quality is good and it's very responsive, particularly the touchpad. I've had this exact model for three years now. The keyboard is smaller than those in full-sized laptops, but bigger than most netbooks. This laptop is slow in terms of performance, but it works fine for light text editing, web browsing and occasionally watching video. I'm sure there are better (faster, with more/better features) models out there at this point, but this one's good for basics.

I would say it's kind of a rubberized plastic. it's more stiff like plastic, but also has some rubbery give to it

The keys are hard. Yes, it is like a real keyboard. And the keys protrude slightly.

The keyboard comes with a little plastic cover so that makes it feel rubbery, but you can remove it and its hard cased keyboard.

It's a soft, durable vinyl and or rubber. It offers some protection, but I would be concern about the keyboard circuit should it be dropped on a hard surface. I have had no problems with my unit.

It has plastic on the outside but the inside surrounding the keyboard is made of aluminum

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.

A combination of the two. It is plastic but, velvety and grippy. Not as grippy as a rubber back but, your device will not slip out of your hand like it can with a smooth plastic back cover.

It looks like metal to me, but it could be plastic with a good coating over it. There are also models with lit up keyboard that are definitely plastic. The backlit keyboard models are a nice touch. I would recommend you find one of the units that have the backlit keyboard, it is very useful. Mine does not.

I believe the platform where you rest your hands to type (the areas on either side of the mousepad) is plastic. It has the appearance of brushed metal.

It's like hard rubber. I think it is plastic with a light rubber coating. I'm not really sure, but it is really easy to grip and has a rubber feel to it.

not sure what that means but on the inside its hard plastic with a spring and it also has a + sign in the middle on the key and keyboard. loud keyboard and the its a fast response along with letting go of the key. compared to my cheaper gaming keyboard which had the gel in between the key and keyboard

It is mostly plastic, except the aluminum around the start button and the bottom of the keyboard appears to be metal. Great little computer. I love mine.

Yes, it's a solid little computer. Of course it's lighter than bigger laptops, but the only plastic is the keys on the keyboard. I really like the keyboard.
