you can blame Willie do for this one because he's just he's on the Internet.

But this one is even Maur intense a little bit because in the time that we received the product, there's also been a dispute sort of launching off, popping off between this product and a different product.

You don't know what it is, and then you're like, Oh, that's a keyboard sort of thing and you're right.

But what's unique about it, or interesting, is that this keyboard aims to turn your iPad pro into, Ah, full fledged laptop type of setup.

Now, you may recall in the past, other products kind of similar to this, particularly from a company called Bridge.

But without the trackpad, that was the missing piece.

This puts you squarely into Mac book territory.

Now that you have the keyboard, the trackpad, this one even comes with, like a magnetic cover for the back of the iPad and this hinge system that lets you fool down the iPad screen as if it were a math book.

Of course, it all matches up in the space gray.

Apple has positioned its new iPad in many ways for marketing and even in the key note as a replacement for a computer.

It's super thin and light, but the keyboard itself, this soft touch material.

I tried to live life without a laptop, and instead I replaced my laptop temporarily with an iPad pro in this case, and I started to miss the tact, ill ity and the scale of, ah, traditional keyboard.

So these aren't cheap, even though they kind of look and feel a bit cheap.

You want it to be versatile and work in these various situations.

That's what Apple is pitching in the first place.

Other products emerged like this one from Logic Tech, which gives you more protection for the iPad.

As a case, it gives you tactile feedback on the keyboard because you a similar form factor, but it eliminates the ability to have be easy on off, because now you've got this rubber thing around the iPad.

They came along with something that looked like this minus the trackpad, and these guys took it to the final place.

You might expect it to go with the trackpad keyboard.

You're now turning your iPad essentially into a touch screen Mac book.

They launched on Kickstarter, raised $230,000.1800 backers.

At which point Bridge, who has a product similar to this They were like, Let's go ahead and and sue those guys are I don't know if they're officially suing them.

But there's definitely a dispute because this product looks like the other product.

Now, all of this is culminating in this moment right here right now.

Because the iPad recently got some new software, iPad OS, which I talked about on the show downstairs that aims to make the iPad Maur like a laptop which reignites this conversation about the iPad Mac book alternative.

Well, those hinges feel fairly strong to begin with.

This is an out D c out and then in so to charge it up.

And I guess you can get some power out of it to charge your iPad from here.

You could use this device to charge up your phone or plugging into your iPad for some extra battery life thistles.

How you do it, and then you fold it down.

When you go up like this, it kicks up the foot a little bit.

This is the hinge style that's causing the dispute, and it gives you a nice little angle to the keyboard itself, who that feels a lot like a laptop.

They also include this back panel that just slides in like that.

And now I guess you can just carry this around right like that?

Yeah, it's magnetic, its magnetic as well.

So you can pull that off, put it on whatever you choose.

One of the nice things about this design You still have a spot for the pain, the pen at the top.

No, but there's tons of friction when you're going front the back.

One thing I was worried about was the multi tasking from the bottom.

There, the pulling up like that, you could do it.

So you really got to make sure you're down at the bottom of the display.

It's just screened, starting at the very bottom.

Every time you get the keyboard input by default, it keeps the onscreen keyboard off when you have a Bluetooth one attached so your screen real estate goes up a cz Well, while you're typing, you can see Maur of what you're typing.

The keys are shorter this way, but once you've used it for a little bit, you're probably going to get used to it as the trackpad is a different story because you have to enable it.

And there you could see the issue with reaching.

Here you can use that button to go home instead.

So you're probably going to be using the gestures less anyways.

Things could change about this design at the moment.

I think the iPad sits a little too low where the ability to multi task and head home the gesture from the bottom of the screen is a bit screwed up if it's sitting all the way down.

If I push it all the way in all this and I can't reach that section who I got it working and it's, uh, better than I expected.

Uh, scrolling sure has an auto hide feature 15 seconds.

It will auto hide so you can see the screen better, I guess.

All right, so it is a little circular style pointer.

You're definitely gonna want to scroll like this.
