Long-Lasting Tablet Keyboards

The Logitech Slim Folio Lasts Four Years on a Single Charge

— May 4, 2017 — Tech
Tablet peripherals are essential pieces of equipment for many users, and the Logitech Slim Folio, a new keyboard and case for the iPad 5, solves one of the most sticking annoyances that those devices usually have.

Typing on a keyboard is unquestionably faster than typing on a tablet's touchscreen, and the fact that the Logitech Slim Folio doubles as a protective case only increases its utility. One of the big issues with most external keyboards is that they have to be added to the ever-growing list of devices that one needs to charge at the end of the day. Not so with the Slim Folio, though. Logitech's iPad 5 offering promises a battery life of a remarkable four years. The device uses replaceable coin batteries rather than a rechargeable lithium ion battery, so users need only worry about battery power every leap year or so.
Trend Themes
1. Long-lasting Tablet Keyboards - With the growing demand for tablet peripherals, new keyboard and case offers four years of battery life, which can lead to opportunities in offering longer battery life in other products.
2. Replaceable Coin Batteries - The use of replaceable coin batteries in the Logitech Slim Folio can open up opportunities in other devices to adopt this eco-friendly and cost-efficient solution to a rechargeable battery.
3. Multi-functional Tablet Accessories - The Logitech Slim Folio doubles as a protective case, highlighting the potential for multi-functional peripherals that can provide more than one benefit for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The demand for peripherals and accessories for tablets opens up innovation and design opportunities for businesses to offer new and improved products for the consumer electronics industry.
2. Office Supplies - As more people work remotely and from tablets, there is potential for innovations in office supplies, particularly in multi-functional and long-lasting peripherals like keyboards and cases.
3. Battery Industry - The use of replaceable coin batteries instead of rechargeable lithium ion batteries can disrupt the battery industry, as businesses explore new options for eco-friendly and cost-efficient battery solutions.
