“That’s because Apple users are all using their iPad or their iPad Air and don’t use a desk top computer anymore….how last century”

I doubt it. Real keyboards are still generally being used for any work requiring a lot of typing. Of course Windows Surface offers that on their tablet.

both the iPad and the air have real key boards you can use.

This story is straight out about DESK TOPS… and by the by the Mac book pro is used by lots of folks.

Is that so? Well, thanks.

If I ever encounter another human being in possession of a Windows Surface tablet, I'll be sure to look for it.

I do not want a stupid tablet.

I want a real computer.

As an optional accessory, just like you can buy a keyboard accessory for an iOS device (or any other tablet with either Bluetooth or a USB port, which is pretty much all of them).

Of course iPad has so many third-party manufacturers making keyboards for the device that Apple doesn't even have to offer one.

Amazing how many competing tablets tout their device with keyboard as a major benefit over the iPad, then fail to mention it's a separate non-trivially-priced purchase for their device, no better than a slew of such available for iPad as well.
