The Apple Smart Keyboard is on sale for 50% off at Amazon

Since tablets were first introduced, it seemed like a matter of time before laptops went the way of the Apple Newton. Laptops can’t compare to a tablet’s portability, and newer iPads rival the processing power of many cheap notebooks. But what many tablets still lack is a functional keyboard, and finally you can get a huge discount on an official Apple Smart Keyboard to enjoy that click-clack sound you’ve been missing. 

Get some work done when you save 50 percent on the Apple Smart Keyboard and get it for just $79.50 from Amazon. This isn’t the first time the price has dropped on the Smart Keyboard, but it certainly is the largest drop so far. And this particular model works with either of the 10.5-inch iPad Pro or iPad Air tablets. You won’t be as lucky with huge discounts if you own a different model. You’ll have to get by with just a $10 discount on the Smart Keyboard for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard Folio for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

The Apple Smart Keyboard provides you with a slim iPad case that’s also functional. Gone are the days of pecking at the screen like a caveman trying to decipher a piece of alien technology. You now get a full-size keyboard that transforms your iPad into the most compact laptop. It just snaps to the Smart Connector on the side of your iPad and you just start typing. There’s no need to pair and no separate batteries are required. 

An official Apple product that’s half off without being refurbished is a rare sight to behold. And when that product is now closer to the price of third-party keyboards, then all the Apple diehards have something to celebrate.
