The Apple iPad Keyboard Dock is essentially the same size as the keyboard you will find on the Apple Macbooks. It has chiclet style keys which are nicely spaced out and comes with some iPad functioning keys at the top, such as the home button and a lock key which are quite useful. There are also keys for media functions, volume, screen brightness, slide show, search and show/hide keyboard. Within some apps, like Pages, the command key works like it would on a Mac. For example, [command + A] for select all. It also has an audio out and an Apple plug for a charger or accessories.
This is not a cheap keyboard, but I am very pleased with it, as I have found that it basically transforms the iPad into an even more productive tool, especially for working on documents and essays. Once I had discovered this I found that the price no longer seemed to bother me.
This accessory can really help to make the iPad a more useful tool and gives you slightly less reason to use your laptop.
