Makes your iPad a Laptop

I've had this for about a month. It has changed the way I do just about everything computer related. Basically, it turns your iPad into a full fledged lap-top - you can actually write with it in your lap - typing very comfortably. The case is also so slim that I can still fit it and my iPad in the tight, minimalist  Timbuk2 case I love.

Really love being able to use my iPad almost as a laptop. Im a Realtor and use this during showings to pull up listing information quickly. I can complete contracts and forms more easily with the keyboard than I could using my iPad the traditional way.
Sometimes its a little tricky because you cant navigate like you would on a laptop, with keyboard shortcuts and toggling.  But that makes sense since you are still using an iPad after all.

This is a great product. A little heavy, but it has turned my iPad mini into a small laptop. Would definitely recommend.

The Apple iPod. A marvelous device! What I like about it is the ease of navigating among and within applications with a touch of the fingers. (No stressful laptop touch pads.) Checking email (with a $99/year mobileme subscription) could not be more user friendly. Watching streaming Netflix movies or listening to iTunes using Bluetooth wireless headphones is superb. Reading the New York Times or Time Magazine or eBooks is ideal. And, managing fingerprints with a bottle of Windex close at hand could not be more enjoyable.

My well thought-out plan was to pre-order an iPad Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, 64G, and then after I received and got used to it, to offer my Netbook for sale on Ebay to help finance the iPad.

But, as I used the iPad over 24 hours, and as time ticked by, I looked longingly at my old and loyal friend the Netbook. So many things I could do with the Netbook, that I could not do with the iPad.  No multitasking, no USB port, and no more of the Windows and Mac applications that I had come to rely on. I started feeling depressed about it, particularly when I realized that the screen size on my iPad was about the same as my Netbook (and no need for Windex). In fact, I came to the astonishing conclusion that there was nothing I could do with the iPad that I could not do with my Netbook.

So, I changed my plans, sold the iPad on eBay (within 1 hour) for what I paid for it, and returned to my Netbook with new love and respect.

Neither the Netbook nor the iPad is an alternative to a full size desktop PC, but for traveling, I discovered that the iPad is not an alternative to either one.

Disclaimer:  I am in no way employed or have any financial interest in any company manufacturing or distributing Netbooks.  I got caught up in the iPad hype but have returned home. ps: In addition to my Windows 7 Netbook, I am a loyal iMac-24 user (but with Windows XP in the Bootcamp partition when I need it).

My wife needed a computer to take overseas, but not one of the heavy normal ones.  I saw my son-in-law with this on his IPAD and knew I had the solution.

Bought this refurnished item per his recommendation and it was exactly what she needed to turn her IPAD into a usable cpu.  Get one.....

I have been using this keyboard, protective case for several months now. It's the best protective case that I've had. The convenience of the tillable, swivel screen reminds me of the same functionality of hybrid laptops. This truly turns the iPad into a small laptop. I wish there were more space for the keys but something has to give. Best money I've spent on a case.

Fully meets expectations, making the IPad pro function like a laptop!

Great if you do not wish to take along a heavy laptop like I did for so long. Very easy to connect to iPad via Bluetooth. Would recommend you buy a sleeve to keep everything intact and no damage.

This is an awesome keypad case. It is sturdy and has turned our IPad  into a mini laptop. We love it.

By far the best keyboard for a iPad Pro they make. It pretty much makes the iPad Pro a laptop, without a trac pad.

I am so pleased with this iPad.  Its small and I can carry it in my purse with out the weight of my laptop.
I bought a Tech Armor screen cover to go on top of the screen.  This increased my portability since no
worries about scratching my screen. I like the touch instead of having to enter a password.  I got silver
instead of the gold.  its nice there is a choice.

Four and a half stars. I love my iPad. it is fast and does everything I need while laying on my back in my bed. It even streams Netflics for me in HD. It takes great Ansel Adams type pictures with its huge viewing area and has turned me into a picture taking fool. I am a true fan. But would I use it to budget, keep important pictures, record files, record 1080p HD movies, play games that I would prefer to see on my 32 inch HD monitor and also I am unable to add hard drives or memory? Replace my PC?  Not no, but heck no. Who are these geek Mac and PC people that are saying the PC and yes the Mac is dead? I have herd this nonsense before and the Mac and PC are still very strong. I work on and maintain computers at work and we are all computer geeks who own iPads or tablets, Mac's and PC's and I know of only one person at work who has gotten rid of his computer for an iPad and his iPhone and he does love it but he is the only one.

The iPad Pro is a wonderful device and I highly recommend it but it will never replace my computer.

I am typing on thie Kensington now...a wonderful product which I have used for taking notes in class and meetings (having Pages is a luxury I afforded myself on my iPad too as a traveling writer and graduate student), leading workshops, delivering lectures and presentations, etc. Holds the stylus and the removable keyboard (which I have not had to charge in several months) securely. It does make the iPad a little heavier/bulkier, but it's still lighter than a laptop, saves room on a crowded table, and can fit comfortably in my larger purses which means when I have readings downloaded to my Kindle app, or in an app that can support PDF's, I don't have to slog around campus with fifty pounds of books. In fact, I now use my iPad primarily as my laptop.

This thing turns an Ipad into a laptop. I would never be able to use my tablet to its full capability without this device. Its rugged too! I work in the construction field and I am constantly using my tablet to pull up prints and send emails. This is a game changer!

A few years ago I read an interesting article by the developer of the Palm Pilot.  He described how he walked around the office with a block of wood to help him imagine what it would be like to carry and use a working PDA.  We have all walked around with a legal pad or something like it.  I think the Apple designers did this, too.  But with a little more awareness than most of us have.  The iPad is the result of this awareness.  I wangled mine at the beginning of this Christmas week and have had a few days to carry it around.  Here's what I think:

The main advantages from my point of view:

 - Screen size.  As big as a piece of paper--not cramped like my iPhone screen.
 - Weight.  Just like a legal pad with a cover.  Maybe just a little heavier.
 - Keyboard.  Big enough to type with two hands.  Two fingers, in my case, but still...
 - Apps.  All iPhone's supported, with 2x mode for those that don't adapt to the big screen.
 - Convenience.  Type notes, documents, dissertations anywhere without setting up a laptop.
 - Newspapers.  I didn't think that screen size mattered for news apps, but it does somehow.
 - Web browsing.  As good as a desktop; better than iPhone special interface apps.
 - Pictures and movies. Wow!

The minor disadvantages:

 - The size.  No complaints, but it is less convenient to carry than my iPhone.  Well, of course it is.
 - No split screen.  I really would like to have two apps side-by-side.
 - Not a laptop replacement.  This is fine--but don't kid yourself.  Keep your laptop.
 - Not an iPhone replacement.  Not small or convenient enough.  Also no phone.
 - Too shareable.  Unlike an iPhone, which is clearly personal, people feel free to borrow it.  Grrr!
 - Too pricey.  Worth it, but just barely.  Somebody at Apple is very good at figuring price points.

I'm glad I got it and I don't think I will change my mind.  I think I will keep using it to write on the metro, in front of the TV--like I am now--and other places where using the laptop doesn't quite work.  And, as when I first got my iPhone, I will temporarily turn into more of an app junkie to find the coolest ones.  They're only a buck, right?  Mostly.
