I've not really been a fan of iOS, but for the holidays this year, I got a cheap 10" iPad 6, and and add-on Brydge keyboard for it. It makes for a small 10" laptop and I'm finding myself using it for 90% of my home computing tasks.
My favorite computer of all time was my 11" MacBook Air. I almost wish that apple would make a clam-shell iPad. I find the clamshell design makes for a superior stand, that works better in angles, and I almost always prefer to use a keyboard, except when I'm reading a book on the iPad. I also wish for some more software, like maybe native Emacs and some other system-level tools. I'd be open to even newer android clamshell designs....
Anyway, for the other 10% of my tasks, I still reach for my 11" MBAir.
- ubermonkey 8y agoI'm super tempted by the Brydge, but I already have a Logitech Slim Folio that's almost as good, but also provides all-around protection. Unfortunately, it's not backlit, which is something I'd really enjoy, but since the SF is so good I can't see dumping it to switch to the Brydge. I also love to use it as a stand for reading at lunch or whatever, which is nice. (ZOMG native emacs on iOS would be KILLER.)
- 0xCMP 8y agoI bought both. The Brydge keyboards always had quality issues with wobbly keys and such. You have to keep sending it back until you get one that's acceptable. I prefer the Slim Folio for everything except it can't do the clam shell mode.
- taude 8y agoThis is true. I bought my Brydge keyboard at Microcenter and had to look through a couple packages to get one that had even keys.
