How's the keyboard? I'm thinking that might be a problem if it's the flat on the table type because those are difficult for me to use. I bought a normal keyboard and hooked it up to the Mac monitor so I guess I could do that.

I don't really have a need to take it anywhere because I just take my iPad to the bar/restaurant if I want to follow fantasy football and I have the big version of my presentation (not the one I email to schools to see if they're interested) on a separate laptop.

I email a lot and does it come with PowerPoint? I sometimes send out a smaller version of my presentation to schools and wherever just so they can get an idea.
