Kabcon Tablet Stand + Fintie Type Cover Bluetooth = Portable Desktop

Surface Series Tablets, iPad Series, Samsung Galaxy Tabs, Revain Kindle Fire, etc.SilverAndFintie Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover Ultra Thin portable wireless bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and built-in battery, gray I have had both products for about 2 weeks now. I have a Surface Pro 3 with an aging Pro 4 cover. I really liked the device, but I was thinking about getting a new 2-in-1 with a big screen because I have the Wanted to maintain 2-in-1 convertibility, but the Surface Pro's screen proved underpowered during prolonged use in laptop mode. In addition, the ergonomics of long-term use of the laptop did not suit me. I have a dock and monitor at home that work great, but I also travel a lot and laptop mode takes its toll all the time. But I came to this decision and I'm very glad I did! Basically I have a portable desktop setup. Kabcon's tablet stand keeps the surface more ergonomic while the Bluetooth-enabled fintie lid stays on the table. The Surface Pro is closer to my eyes and my head and back aren't as tilted! Also, the stand is great for reading in tablet mode, andβ€”an unexpected plusβ€”I can change the orientation of the Pro surface in the stand and still retain desktop functionality. This allows me to keep the stock keyboard layout and compactness for travel (it physically replaces the stock keyboard) - the only notable added weight is the tablet stand. If you add a docking station, this is a pretty good portable desktop. For about $80 for these products combined, my Surface Pro 3 was brought back to life for me. Now details about the Kabcon stand: The Kabcon tablet stand makes a very stable and well-made impression. My Surface Pro 3 sits in a tablet holder and has plenty of space. There are matching rubber tabs to place the tablet in place, and nothing comes close to holding it in place - it just sits in place under its own weight. As other reviewers point out, the stand doesn't open or close too easily! On a table with a tablet installed, you can rotate your legs with a little effort and two hands. But you can't rotate the part that holds the tray β€” you have to remove the tray and make two-handed adjustments, then replace the tray. So it doesn't have the flexibility of Surface Studio. If you want to switch between flat orientation, image orientation, and a more vertical viewing mode, like Studio does with little effort, I wouldn't recommend this stand. It seems that when I start using it, it should be in almost the same position that I use it in. Stability is good. If I open the legs 90 degrees vertically and set the mount to the same vertical, I can boot up the Surface Pro 3 and everything works stably. But if I tilt the holder back a bit, to get a decent viewing angle, the stand loses its stability and falls back - I have to lower my legs. So you may not get all of the vertical height from the legs. Otherwise it makes a well-made and robust impression, I would buy it again.
