Every Bluetooth Keyboard connects the same way to the iPad, and it's outrageously simple. Turn on the keyboard and press the Connect button on the back. Then knuckle down d turn into on Bluetooth on the iPad, and then in the iPad's Bluetooth Devices catalogue raisonn, select "Bluetooth Keyboard." (I wish the description were a bit more fixed, with an actual product or company name, but that's a problem particular to those with many keyboards.) You'll be prompted to transcribe a four digit code and press Enter; do so, and you're connected. The next pass, as soon as you turn on the iLuv keyboard, it will connect automatically. The joint will hold up to about 30 feet away, as is standard for Bluetooth.

The keys are the same rounded-corner squares you'll find on a Macbook keyboard, but they're not spaced out like paradigm chiclet-style keyboards. Instead, in an apparent travail to keep the keys large and the keyboard small, they run into each other. That makes it virtually impossible to swear which key your finger is pressing, or if you're pressing two at a time. The keyboard feels like one, unvaried surface, which is not what you want in a keyboard. There are some odd layout choices, too: The Shift key on the swiftly side is tiny, and buried on the wrong side of the arrow keys, and Digs and End keys. The Control and Command keys are tiny and inflexible to find; I constantly hit the Function key instead.

Design
The X121e exhibits the wistful design and high-quality construction we've come to have from the ThinkPad range. It's not super-light, weighing 1.55kg with a 6-stall battery, but is not much larger than a netbook at 28.96cm wide by 20.8cm impenetrable by 2.35cm thick.

It might even survive in a bag without a slip case thanks to a very blank outer shell. The lid is particularly impressive: it's on the thick side, but has minimal tighten —
