So you can use this as a tablet without removing the keyboard?

Yes, the touch screen is still fully functional, but wherever requires typing, you must use the keyboard, the screen keyboard is disabled.

Yeah cause the case really doesn't attach to the iPad at all, it really sits in it

Like with any keyboard you can use the arrow and tab keys to negotiate the screen so yes.. You can operate the tablet from the keyboard without touching the tablet.

Yes you can. Remember though that once the keyboard is attached the on-screen keyboard does not automatically appear. This is a great case and I highly recommend it as it allows full functionality.

Yes, you can go full tablet mode and the QWERTY physical keyboard will be disabled.

Yes. Think of it as two computers in one. When you detatch (it completely detaches) the display part from the keyboard, its a Tablet, powered by a Android processor and operating system. And when attached to the keyboard (which is actually a computer on its own) you can either run it as a laptop running an Intel I5 or I7 Processor and windows 8 or 8.1 (the 8.1 upgrade is 100% free by the way), or run it in the same tablet mode (there is a button on the keyboard that lets you switch between Android mode or windows mode). The "Trio" part in the name comes from the fact that if you connect the keyboard to some other Display divice (such as a TV screen or desktop monitor), you can run the keyboard without the need for the display part...Essentually letting you use half as a tablet and the other half as a PC...Meaning you can have both the tablet and the Windows base part both working simultanious and speratly of each other. Pretty awesome computer really even for its price. Just be sure to take care of it and not drop it, like it did mine. :/

Yes and no..Yes in that you have the keyboard and screen combination tied together for ergonomic usage.No in that unlike a laptop, they keyboard is smaller, initial setup of the keyboard is required (Bluetooth link), there are no USB, etc. ports like a laptop. Also, it is Apple IOS which is not the same as Windows or MacOS.But once it is set up you merely need to power on the tablet then also power on the keyboard. Remember you don't HAVE to use the keyboard.

I don't have the unit with me, but it seems like you could. The only concern I would have is the unit is a bit loose in the cover. It stays in the cover adequately because of the tablet and keyboard combined. The cover stands up because of the tablet keyboard connection. Without the keyboard, I'm not sure what it will do in the cover. You may have to be careful when you open it. I would think that there is another cover out there, similar to the apple tablet cover, which has a fold back top, which will allow the tablet to stand up. A specific purpose cover, if you will. Keep looking.......

No, sorry, its a keyboard only. It is a GOOD keyboard though, i havent had any problems with it
745462
Yes, you can. It also has an USB port on the dock station and a micro USB on the tablet.

No. I find it useful as a reader (books on Kindle, magazines from news stand,etc), surfing stuff like reddit or ESPN.com, and as a means for watching shows/movies on the go (tiny screen/bad sound but it'll do in a pinch)It doesn't have an attached keyboard, typing is awkward on it and won't do anything if you're trying to work from your lap (as is often the case w laptops)

No, but you CAN remove the tablet from the keyboard/case, and then you can definitely used the keyboard at a distance from the tablet and still have a functioning system.

Nope...it is a laptop computer run by Microsoft Window 8...However, the touchscreen can be detached from the keyboard and you can use it as a tablet pc...

along the bottom side of the screen there is charge port headphone jack you can do it completely without the keyboard

I know the screen is connected to the keyboard but I don't know how. I think a computer technician could explain how. I do know that the tablet has a virtual keyboard which could be used for touchscreen operations. The regular keyboard could be used for non touchscreen operations. This is much that I know.

Yes you can, I do all the time... if you don't want to hold the whole thing than you can just use the keyboard!

Yes u can but its kinda awkward if ur thinking of using the touch feature becausee laptop doesn't fold like a tablet I don't use touch as much

I have never tried. It is very happy when I use the tablet in the office with external keyboard and mouse.
