I'm pretty disappointed with some aspects of the detachable keyboard design:
Using the top of the back as a fold down stand for a unit of this size is a silly idea. When folded into stand position it makes it hard to pick up the combined unit without accidentally detaching it - not good if it is on your lap and you need to put it aside without shutting it
The magnet which holds the main unit down on the pins is much to weak so that is very easy to dislodge and detached the unit from the keyboard accidentally.
The hinge itself is just a strip of thin plastic joining the keyboard base to the back and is very floppy. This is a barely satisfactory arrangement on smaller tablets, but here it is a bit of a disaster if trying to use it as a laptop on your lap. The whole thing wobbles around and flexes as you use it.
The keyboard itself is very flimsy and flexes easily. Coupled with the poor hinge, weak connection, and the klunky stand arrangement, the unit is totally unsuitable for any use except on a table or firm surface.
Finally the pen is attached to the keyboard in an addon tube of plastic on the left hand side. Apart from being on the wrong side for the 90% of users who are right handed, it is one the wrong unit anyway - it needs to attach to the side of the screen, preferably with a good strong magnet like the pen on my Boox small monochrome tablet that I use as a Kindle and for sketching and handwritten note taking.
Those comments from my longer blog post on my first impressions having finally got it last week.
Is there any chance that a new keyboard with a proper hinge might be developed? Can I return my keyboard as not fit for purpose and get my money back to spend on a decent bluetooth keyboard? (personally I always use a wireless mouse not the touchpad but I like having the touchscreen and pen option as well. I would happily have paid a bit more for a proper detachable keyboard laptop rather than this cheap and not-very cheerful solution
