Turn Your iPad 2 Into A MacBook Air

M.I.C.’s Aluminum Keyboard Buddy Case doesn’t just protect your iPad 2 screen, it also has a Bluetooth keyboard like a few other iPad cases. But what sets this one apart is that the outer casing is made of aluminium.

When closed, the iPad bears resemblance to a MacBook Air, albeit to a rudimentary extent. But the chicklet-style keyboard is powered by its own battery and recharges via USB. And at $US50, this might not be a bad option if you’re someone who types a lot. [M.I.C. via Gadget Lab]

    hmm…

    I keep feeling tempted by an ipad keyboard. But then I think, what would be the point of the ipad then? It’s a pickle.

      …does it attach via the smart cover magnets? If not, are there any that do? Seems like the logical thing

    Can it power the iPad like the ASUS Transformer dock?

    Cool idea but why not just buy a MacBookAir to start with? I just use a smart cover combo from CaseBuddy: http://www.casebuddy.com.au/collections/frontpage/products/casebuddy-crystal-back-black-smart-cover-ipad2-case
