The bad:
It weighs less than 3 pounds, which is awesome, but it feels heavier than it looks. It's not noticeable when it's in the bag, but it still feels heavier than I expect it to be each time I pick it up. Since all of those parts are crammed into a small box, it does get a little warm. It won't scald you, but don't be surprised if you have some leg sweat after a long train ride. The speakers sound exactly as you would expect them to.


The best part:
Like I said, I've spent some time with the 2133's competitors and I can easily say that this keyboard blows all of them out of the water, including the Macbook Air. The tactile response is perfect and it's big enough that you can use it with adult-sized hands. The only thing slowing me down was my 2nd grade typing ability.


Options:
Like I said, it starts at $500 for a Linux set-up and a 4 GB solid state drive, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth spending a few extra bucks and getting more storage. 4 gigs goes fast when you have connectivity this good.


The verdict:
It's certainly not meant to be your main machine, but if you need something you can lug around all day to abuse public WiFi with, then this is your best option so far. It's (relatively) fast, incredibly stylish and big enough for a grown up to use in public. Plus, it's pretty cheap. Score.
