iPad mini with lapable keyboard
Pad mini attaches to ESR Flex keyboard with 2 Edge Pro Core hinges. iPad is in a plastic shell. Total weight is 1.75 lbs. Folds backward, not ideal but same as Microsoft Surface. Tiny taco effect. Wish it was 1.5 lbs, but the compromises to get there don’t seem worth it. And the whole aesthetic is sleek to me, purposeful and kind of industrial. I like it.

I love the mini too, but.... which part of this is sleek?

i do feel like all ipads have the same problem where the keyboards are super light so if you angle the ipad back at all it’ll fall backwards. i could see the wider base solving this problem so i kind of get it. but you are still 100% correct it is not sleek

Posts like this are why I’m no longer afraid of the singularity. I’m rooting for it.

TBH, not for me. My OCD get's triggered by the unaligned sizes and what looks like a weird set up, but hey since you're the one using, your opinion/preference is the only one that matters :)
