Turn Your iPad into a Laptop

Need a lightweight laptop solution? Turn your iPad into a laptop with this versatile Logitech Slim Combo case.

There are times when you don’t need a lot of computer processing power to get things done for home or work.  You simply need a lightweight tablet to answer emails, work on some documents, and perhaps watch Netflix.

Dragging along a heavy laptop isn’t always necessary.  I have been in this position a number of times when I travel.  Nonetheless, I bring along my trusty Lenovo laptop and it does great.

But it’s somewhat heavy at 2.6lbs.

Turn your iPad into a Laptop

We recently tested out Logitech’s Slim Combo for the 5th, and 6th generation, but there’s also a new case for the 7th generation iPad, if you have one. 

The Logitech Slim Folio case gives you protection from drops as well as a large keyboard to turn your iPad into a laptop.  It’s a nice looking case that offers a row of iPad OS shortkeys.

The clever design of the Slim Combo case allows you to separate the keyboard from the protected iPad, perfect when sitting and typing with no table or when in the cramped space of an airplane seat.

Or keep the keyboard attached its built-in bound magnet and prop your iPad up by the included cleverly disguised kickstand.  It’s really a smart iPad case.

Features:

• Keyboard is similar to a laptop’s with large backlit keys
• A complete row of keys dedicated to iPad controls like music, screen brightness, etc.
• Adjustable case to accommodate four modes – Type, View (for movies), Studio (for using a digital Pencil or Crayon), Book (for reading)
• Built-in holder for your Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon
• Hidden adjustable kickstand
• Made with durable material for daily wear and tear
• Connects with Bluetooth and works automatically once keyboard is in Type mode
• Rechargeable battery can last up to 3 months on a single charge
• 1-year warranty

Pros:

• The keyboard detaches completely, giving you more flexibility of where you type
• The lighting behind the keys is adjustable with 3 different levels of brightness, so you can see at night with your needed amount of brightness
• The case is durable and looks professional
• Kickstand offers variable viewing options – from more upright for easy viewing to lower for drawing
• Even when your iPad goes to sleep, tapping on the keyboard wakes it up
• You can use the keyboard to type in your iPad code after sleeping
• Pressing the square home button once brings you to Home, pressing it twice shows you all open windows
• Closing the case turns off your iPad automatically

Cons:

A Mom’s Perspective

I love Logitech’s Slim Combo case.  It really does turn an iPad into a laptop. 

With coming in at a pound along with the iPad weighing a pound, you’re carrying around 2 lbs. of tech instead of 3-4 lbs. like a traditional laptop has.

A laptop has its purposes, but when you need something lighter, an iPad with this Logitech Slim Combo is all you need.  

And it comes with a built-in Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon holder, allowing for flexibility and convenience if you use one of these devices.

The Logitech Slim Combo case is sharp looking and full of utility  – perfect for work or home.  

It’s also good for older teens and college students because of its versatility and durability.  The Logitech Slim Combo can take a beating and still protect its iPad.

Logitech has a winner in its well-thought-out iPad case. It’s one of the best iPad cases I’ve used.
