The iPad comes with everything that you need to use it built in which is great, but to have all of the functions in such a small package with so few buttons there have to be compromises. One of these comes in the form of the iPad on screen keyboard. Whilst it is definitely usable, the iPad keyboard takes up a large amount of the screen as well as leaving lots of nice fingerprints all over the screen where the keys are. What is the solution to this problem? Get a small separate keyboard, which will let you make better use of the high quality screen as well as keeping it fingerprint-free. It’ll also let you type and access some of the controls wirelessly from the iPad. Here are a few of the best and most practical iPad keyboards on the market.

The iPad is a great piece of technology. You can use it to watch movies, listen to music and use the endless amount of apps available to it. All you have to do is sync it to a pc (if you have all your media on there), let it transfer and you are ready to go. The only thing is, while you sync it through a USB cable most people don’t want to leave their precious iPad lying around with cables dangling from it. What about when you want to use it to watch that great movie, you could prop it up with something lying around on your desk or just hold it for an hour but the only real solution to these problems is to get an iPad dock.

An iPad dock is the all-in-one solution to your syncing and viewing problems. It lets you sync and charge an iPad easily, it’s quick and simple to attach and detach the iPad from the dock so you dont need to mess around with wires and cables any more. However, probably the most important function of it is that you can use it as a stand to watch movies or view images. The iPad dock will keep your iPad upright and stable so you are free to sit back and watch the film or use it to show of the great looking iPad as part of your desk. Combine this with the fact that it will sync and charge while being used as a display and you will never have to worry about the battery dying while your film is playing. An iPad dock is easily one of the most essential and simple iPad accessories you could ever buy, so here is a few that we think are the best.

iPad Docking Station

This glossy black iPad dock features a back plate which can adjust the resting position of the iPad which allows the dock to be compatible with many slimline iPad skins or covers (up to 4mm thick). Have a nice decorative skin for your iPad (something like one of these Gelaskins maybe)? This dock will be perfect for it. You can also change the viewing angle on it to get rid of that annoying glare you might have on the screen when you watch your movie. The back plate comes in a nice illuminated blue for that extra bit of style. It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod, so you’ll only ever need one dock.

Desktop iPad Cradle

This desktop cradle, as the name suggests, is ideal for your desk. Perfect for simple syncing and charing of the iPad, it’ll hold it upright so you can watch your movies and slideshows while it charges. Coming in white, the iPad cradle matches the back of the iPad nicely. The iPad cradle also comes with adjustable viewing angles to make sure you have the perfect angle to watch the movie comfortably. Not only that, you can make sure that there is enough room for the iPad to fit even with the biggest of iPad cases on. Have a large book style leather case or shell on the iPad? No problem! It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod too.

iPad Dock Stand

If you want the most secure dock or stand for your iPad, this is definitely the one for you. The biggest stand we have so far, this one provides maximum support for the iPad. With a large base, the iPad dock stand has extra stability and great quality and construction. Covering the whole length of the iPad base, this stand will hold your iPad up with no problems while it syncs and charges. Coming in a classic matte black finish, you can’t go wrong with this iPad dock. You can also use it with an iPhone or an iPod, although they may look a bit small on the large stand.

If you have lost, damaged or broken your Laptop Charger and looking to buy a new one, a Universal Laptop Charger is an easy and cheap alternative to finding a replacement. However, using the wrong charger can damage your laptop, so it is important to know a few things before you buy. This guide shows you how to find a replacement charger that is safe to use with your Laptop.

Step 1: Find out the power requirements of your Laptop.

The Laptop Charger must be able to supply sufficient power to the Laptop. Power is specified in number of Watts (W), e.g. 65W or 90W.

Important: always use a Laptop Charger with equal or higher power output than the Laptop requires. E.g., on a 90W notebook you can use a 90W or 120W adapter but not a 70W adapter.

Follow these steps:

• The power requirements are usually specified in Watts (W) on the original power adapter that was included with your Laptop. See figure 1 (P). Common power outputs are 65W and 90W.
• When the output power is only specified in Volts (V) and Amperes (A), multiply those numbers to get the power output in Watts (W). In figure 1, the output power is: 18,5V x 3,5A = 64,75W (rounded off to 65W).
• If the original adapter is missing then check for a label on the Laptop, check the user manual or contact the manufacturer of the notebook.

Step 2: Check the Voltage compatibility (V)

If the voltage of the charger is too high then it can damage your Laptop (although most laptops now include protection against this), if it is too low then it will not provide sufficient power to your laptop. You should check to see if the Laptop Charger can provide the correct voltage for your laptop. Universal Laptop Chargers normally have a manual switch or an automatic voltage selection.

Step 3: Ensure the charger comes with the correct tip.

You should always check to see if the pack includes the correct tip for your Laptop. Most brands of Laptop use the same tip for all models, so all you need do is check that your laptop brand is specified by the manufacturer.

Our shop sells a wide range of Laptop Chargers at great prices.
