umm... so ok... they'd probably use thinner contact pads.. unless they're gonna do all 26 letters with that 1 arm.

Who says you need an iPad, this hybrid looks like its cross-compatible with android too!

Heck you could probably use it with a Windows 8 if you had a touchscreen.

I don't have any tablet, if that suits you better.

ALSO HOW DO YOU SHOVE A LAPTOP DOWN THERE?
Flipping the screen upside down and having the keyboard and all other heavy parts hanging off seems pretty illogical.

particularly the last one seems really out of place -- seeing as it is a lesson in a programming lanugage, from wha I can tell from the comments :)

I'd just put paper in it and use it as a typewriter. I'd only use it at home however. What I learned to type on was even older than that.  :-[
