If you’re one of the many people hoping to replace your laptop with a tablet, it might be your best bet — especially considering its unibody aluminum design, adjustable hinge, and built-in stereo speakers.
Its the Brydge+, a keyboard made from an Apple-esque solid slab of anodized aluminum. When attached to a new iPad, it altogether weighs 2.74 pounds — .36 pounds more than the 11-inch MacBook Air it’s meant to replace, but a hair lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air.
The Brydge comes with a set of sticky rubber shim inserts to help it best grip whichever 9.7-inch iPad you’re using.The iPad fits snugly inside the Brydge’s hinge clamps.
Setting up the Brydge is a somewhat convoluted process. The Brydge asks you to press two sequences of keys (plus a keycode) to set up the keyboard and speaker system, which operate as two separate Bluetooth devices you need to pair.
There isn’t a whole lot to say about the Brydge speakers, except that they’re better than the one inside the iPad. There’s
very little bass reproduction to speak of, and the sound is tinny,but we’ve got stereo, and the speakers aren’t pointing backwards like those on an iPad.
Brydge’s creators claim that the keyboard lasts "months" when using the keyboard, and "reduced battery life" when using its speakers with the keyboard turned on. the Brydge's 800 mAh lithium ion battery lasts long enough for extended trips.
"If only doing a normal amount of typing, it should last for months. If you use the speakers constantly for movies at medium volume, it will last a few days," The Brydge comes with a stylish flat Micro USB cable for charging.
