The package also includes a keyboard cover which is connected to the tablet magnetically. The keyboard can be angled so you can easily type a lot on it. There is a backlight too. But, the touchpad might be too small for some users. The included active stylus differs between 4096 pressure levels like the stylus of Microsoft Surface Pro, so it is not just suitable for writing, but for drawing too.
