iPad owners don’t have to spend a fortune on a full laptop thanks to a handy and affordable accessory on Amazon. From retailer Harvopu comes a combination iPad case, keyboard, and pencil holder to give you a portable experience without breaking the bank. As of this writing, it’s on sale on Amazon for $26, down from $33. Even the absolute value is not a bad thing.

This iPad case and keyboard combo comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, gray, and pink. Note that prices may vary depending on which color you choose, as some are on sale while others are not. You should also check out any Amazon deal before buying to make sure it’s as good as it looks.

This product is compatible with iPad (10th generation) 10.9-inch models and iPad 11-inch models from 2025. The keyboard comes with a trackpad, giving you a laptop-like experience that lets you navigate through apps with the mouse pointer. The keys are backlit and the case itself is adjustable so you can position the iPad at your preferred angle. There’s an included charging cable for the keyboard, but note that while it has a slot for the Apple Pencil, it doesn’t come with a stylus.

There are several iPad cases that offer similar functionality, but we’re highlighting this one because of its price, performance, and generally good reviews. At the time of this writing, Harvopu’s iPad accessory has over 4,500 reviews on Amazon with an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. While some may argue that we don’t need an iPad anymore, this device maximizes what you already have so you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the full laptop experience.

Good reviews on Amazon praise this product for successfully turning users’ iPads into functional laptops. One reviewer noted that “it’s a great choice for turning your iPad into a portable workstation,” and another notes that “the included keyboard and multi-touch trackpad make working on my iPad very efficient, essentially turning it into a lightweight laptop.”

Most of the reviews for this iPad accessory are positive, with only 15% of reviewers giving it three stars or less. Common complaints are that the keyboard becomes glitchy or stops working soon after purchase. Another reviewer who had the same problem, however, noted that they were very happy with their customer service experience when they reached out to support. Although troubleshooting the keyboard did not fix the problem, a replacement unit was sent.

If you’re in the market for a $26 keyboard accessory, you probably already own an iPad. Anyway, let’s look at the financial figures behind this combo at the time of writing. The new 11-inch iPad model is on sale on Amazon for $350, and if you use this device to turn it into a laptop, you would have spent a total of $376.

Meanwhile, the 2025 13-inch MacBook Air costs $999 — although Apple’s new cheapest MacBook is coming soon with an expected starting price of $699. And if you look beyond Apple products, you’ll notice that HP is selling a 15.6-inch Microsoft Office laptop for $650 on Amazon. Although cheaper than a MacBook, this is still more expensive than combining an iPad with a trackpad-enabled keyboard.

Of course, your iPad may not have all the features or hardware capabilities of an existing laptop, depending on the model. And specific laptop prices can vary depending on specifications, models, and the retailer you buy them from. But if you want to save money on a laptop and already have an iPad lying around, buying this device can fill your needs while keeping your bank account happy.
