Turning Your iPad into a Laptop

The first time Joy took an iPad on a trip, she was floored by how much she missed a regular keyboard. But most iPad keyboards are bulky: You might as well bring a laptop. An alternative is the new folding keyboard from Logitech.

The Logitech “Fold-Up Keyboard” wirelessly connects to an iPad 2 and is about the same size as a laptop keyboard. So with a screen facing you and a keyboard below, it’s almost as if you were using a laptop. Closed, it stays under your iPad and goes to sleep. It’s $130 from Logitech.com.
