Thankyou Nerd :) and yeah, I almost always hate when companys put their logo or name on everything for free advertising, like when t-shirts have GAP written across it. Its so annoying.
Hii this is my first time ever leaving a comment on youtube.. i would like to know if that case works for the ipad 1 . I figured it might since its blue tooth ?
this one seems nice, but I've been wondering, can you fold the iPad over the keyboard and use it as a regular iPad so that you don't always have to use the keyboard?
Thanks for the review. Since you've had the Targus case, have you noticed any scratching on the screen caused by the keys when it is in the closed position? A reviewer on Amazon has complained of that issue. Thanks!
Some people have jobs this involve typing large amounts once in a while, or if they go to school and need something small that can do alot of things this is perfect. Hello are netbooks or laptops touchscreen ????- Soooo agree. I like this guys video becuase it is professional. Well Done !
Not a fan of this case - its bulky to the point that those with money would do better with an 11inch Macbook Air. I played around with keyboards for my iPad for a long while before finally giving in and settling on a 13inch Air as a desktop replacement and real outdoor productivity tool (yes I know 13inch is a much bigger form factor than a netbook) . Using a touchscreen OS with a keyboard just doesn't feel second nature and reaching over a keyboard to touch a screen is just not ergonomic.
The ipad is less powerful than netbooks because you can do just as much on a netbook as you can on a regular computer. Typically netbooks just have less power performance. The ipad is incapable of running basic programs like microsoft word. What a joke! Chris is an apple fanboy.
@tmar23 Absolutely! A netbook is greatly underpowered compared to an iPad. A netbook has to run a an entire, full scale desktop operating system, whereas an iPad is only running a mobile O.S. which is far less demanding when it comes to processing power. Netbooks are ugly, clunky and slow and will hopefully be phased out soon by tablets and ultra books (MacBook Air).
@chris1abramczyk I don't think the tablet market will work out quite like the phone market did. Apple priced the iPad extremely aggressively, other companies simply can't compete with Apple's pricing for what they offer. Apple get components cheaper because they buy in massive bulk, with cash, and pay in full up front, very few other companies have this kind of supply chain set up. Look at the new HTC tablet, $700 subsidised on a 2 year contract. Madness.
@wre66425616 Yes, netbooks are meant for portability and battery life, which means you cut down on the power for HDD and CPU, meaning you run a lower RPM HDD and a CPU that uses less power. Your common laptop is faster by far as compared to netbooks.
The air 11" might be smaller than this solution . Touch panels wanna be flat or ur hands will fall off at some point!!! That is why apple never implemented that intoto MBA or other devices except ipad and iphone.
The apple logo bugs me more than the targus logo. I always get a Tux decal or similar to cover up the apple on my macbooks. Same thing with my DSLR, I cover up the Canon logo with gaffer tape. I hate when people come up and ask what tablet, computer, camera, etc I'm using - annoying as heck.
Why not just buy something like the ASUS Transformer and it is cheaper with the keyboard and a 16gb tablet for 500 witch is still cheaper then the iPad
I will never understand the need for an iPad keyboard case. I plan on getting the next gen iPad, and I could totally see myself lugging my Apple wireless keyboard to meetings and pairing it to my future iPad, but out and about it just seems like having a keyboard case would be too bulky and defeat the purpose of the iPad being so thin and light. I currently borrow my mom's keyboard when I need to do a business presentation, but I can't see me carrying a keyboard full time on an iPad.
@bambinosto You can use Apple keyboards with Windows, they work like any other keyboard, they just have a few keys in different places due to their layouts not being the same.
@ross1441 The MacBook Air isn't a netbook, it's an ultraportable. it uses notebook class CPU's, just low voltage ones, and those i5's (and even the C2D's in the older ones) totally thrash the best Atoms and AMD equivalent in performance.
what if you want to use your ipad normally without a keyboard? does it fold over easily? or does it come out of the case easily? i would like to have a keyboard, but i would not be using it most of the time.
Is there a way to fold it down so that the iPad can be used like a tablet without a keyboard? For example, can you fold it down so it kind of looks like the iPad without a case? If you don't understand what I mean I'lll try to make it clearer
Hey Chris, isn't the Smart Cover kind of a waste of money? If I wanted a case, I would want one that covers the entire thing, not just the screen. Or am I wrong? Does the back scratch up easy?
@ynkno13 Hence "Cover" in the name. There's plenty of cases on the market that have the same functionality with the lock/unlock using the magnets, but the Smart Cover's real purpose is to protect the screen and keep it as thin and light as possible.
Check out the new logitech fold-up keyboard. It works with the smart cover but it doesn't come with the the stylus or swivels. Will burn a hole in your pocket but hey it looks pretty cool. Straight out the the transformers movie. It also is the only ipad keyboards I've seen that hides the keyboard when not it use. Easy for on the go use.
does it work with original Ipad?
