This is where it gets tricky. You need to put the tablet down on a table to type, in which case the screen angle gets awkward.
Personally, I would rather have a MBA-format netbook (very thin) where I could use a proper keyboard as on a laptop, but where the screen could be opened all the way around to the bottom of the case and the thereby converting to a slightly thicker tablet.
Rumor has it that Samsung is planning a new tablet with a 10-inch display, a slide-out keyboard and the name…”Gloria.”
That last part is even stranger than the slide-out keyboard detail, but we’ll go with it for now. According to Blogeee.net, the Windows 7-powered slate PC will launch in March or April of next year. You know, if this is even real.
Still, the slide-out keyboard on a tablet device seems like a fun and very useful addition. A QWERTY keyboard would make it much easier to be productive while on-the-go, especially for those of us (like me) who hate typing on touch screens on anything larger than a smartphone.
