Clever Case Converts iPad 2 into a laptop

What if you could turn your iPad 2 into a laptop by simply placing it in a case? That is the promise of Crux Loaded by CruxCase, clamshell enclosure that gives users a keyboard like that Logitech Keyboard Case we reviewed, but goes a step further by also offering a trackpad. Both trackpad and keyboard communicate with the iPad wirelessly using Bluetooth, and CruxCase claims the trackpad will control the iPad 2 in the same multitouch way as the iPad’s screen.
Powering that Bluetooth connection and giving the iPad’s battery a bit more longevity is an additional external battery tucked inside.

However, don’t be completely fooled by the picture above, which makes it look like you have complete PC functions with the iPad when you use this case. That’s possible, however, if you install a remote desktop app on the iPad, and CruxCase suggests Log Me in Ignition, Jump Desktop or Splashtop for that task. That won’t be as instantly responsive as a laptop would be, though, and you’ll need a fast connection with a Mac or PC to make this work.
