tyPad

vs.

Traditional Laptop

Sleek, lightweight design. Bulky with hard exterior shell.
Comes with built-in protective case at no added cost. Carry case is usually sold separately.
The Bluetooth keyboard turns on or off at the touch of a button and changing over from one typing method to the next is a cinch. You can switch from keyboard or touch screen mode as you see fit.  Most laptops have a built-in keyboard that can't be turned on or off at the touch of a button.
tyPad can rest comfortably on your lap without generating excess heat or discomfort as you type. Laptops often make you hot and uncomfortable if you rest them on your lap for an extended period of time.
Your iPad slides in and out of tyPad easily so you can use tyPad when you want to or set it aside when you don’t want to use it. Best of all, you never have to take your iPad out of tyPad if you don’t want to. With most laptops, what you see is what you get. You have limited choices as far as options for use are concerned.
The one-piece design is perfect for travel and easy to carry. There are no snaps or buttons anywhere on the device. Many laptops require additional travel accessories (carry case, adaptor, etc.) that can weigh you down at airport security checkpoints.
tyPad device has no hinge--it's flexible for multiple viewing positions. The hinged design makes a laptop less maneuverable and harder to use in different positions.
