Apparently you do since you brought it up. Microsoft had been a hardware manufacture a long time ago (and now) so whats the deal then? If anybody can't use aluminum in any computer type device because that's copying Apple, then we have a serious problem

You must of missed all the other wireless small form factor keyboards that have come out over the years.
I've seen Logitech and about a bajillion different OEMs use the small form factor "stylish" design for ages.
Not that I care, I hate these small keyboards

Why do you need a track pad with a touch screen?

if you're using a dedicated keyboard, odds are you arent wanting to use the screen

I don't see it that way, personally. Especially in something that small and close together.
