Would this keyboard be small enough to bring on trips? how portable is it?

I don't know if I would call it portable. It is about 25 inches long and lightweight. I can see throwing it in for a car trip, but I'm not sure if you would want to take up suitcase space - definitely not carry on. Hope this helped.

I consider it quite portable, it is light weight, and we move it around the house all the time. I think it would travel well in a car, it is not huge or heavy. A good feature seems to be the way it doesn't drain the battery when left "on"... if no one is playing or it is not in auto play mode, it must shut down to preserve battery, even if you accidentally leave it in "on" position (which my granddaughter does all the time). We purchased the wall AC device but haven't ever felt a need to use it.

It's about two feet long and sounds good on batteries. If you're a musician and need a keyboard on a trip, go for it. Any larger, and I wouldn't suggest it. It's just big enough to NOT be a toy. Also, if you use it a lot, you can get the power cord. The downside, in my opinion, it has no case, so you'll need to get creative. Good luck.

I bought a case for mine and take it everywhere. It's great for rehearsals. Very light weight.

Unfortunately no. But that is why this is such a light and portable keyboard.

It weighs about 2 pounds. Because if the screen size and full key board, it might not be the best buy if you travel with it a lot.

No. It is by no means a full size keyboard. It takes some getting used too. Almost too small.

I just bought, and hooked up the iGo Stowaway Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard and it works perfectly. I purchased this PDA and the stowaway keyboard for grad school as I ride my bicycle to school everyday and didn't want to lug around a laptop. The keyboard fold up to approx 5 inches x 3 inches and when unfolded is the size of a typical laptop keyboard minus the top row of numbers. Bluetooth compatability works great for it and it is very light to throw in a backpack.

The keyboard is full size when folded out, but this keyboard doesn't give you much time to pair with your device. I haven't been able to use it.

If you are a iPhone, or iPad user then Yes. It is very compact, yet easy to play the keys. Would easily fit in a backpack, probably a brief case for that matter. Plugs into bottom of phone or tablet( charge port) and runs off of phone/tablets power- does not seem to consume much battery life. Also ,you can easily listen to what your playing via phone/tablet headphone jack. Hope that helps

I'd say the sound quality is pretty decent for a small keyboard. I find it useful as something portable when I need a keyboard, but am away from my piano, and for adding synth sounds to compositions, but I wouldn't use it for, say, piano lessons - not enough keys, and the touch is not like a real piano - doesn't have that "weighted" feeling. All in all, though, a very handy little keyboard.

The keyboard is full size if that's what you mean, just slim profile and no extra border keeping it small. The keys are "island" type like a laptop and seem pretty sturdy. Only time will tell if they hold up but seem promising.

Not at all. It's a standard size keyboard, same size as a 13 inch Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. The only keys that are smaller are the function keys at the top of the keyboard.

The keyboard seems fairly standard size to me. There is some resistance to the keystrokes.

It is definitely small enough to travel easily. In the carrying bag it is 24 inches by 8 inches. It weighs about 4 pounds.

not a standard keyboard but if you have a smaller size one it would be ok. I use it for pens, pencils, notepads etc.

Yep, very well. However, for use with a tablet, I would not suggest this tablet, the silicone is quite hard to type with, and the keys are tiny.

It is a good travel guitar based on the price. Because it is so inexpensive, you may not be too concerned about it getting banged up or lost. Based on size, I would say that it is not as good as a smaller sized guitar for travel. Please note that I am a small person in stature, so that is why I would make this comment. If you are a bigger person and the size isn't an issue, then it's great for travel. FYI-This guitar also has a wonderful sound and stays tuned for a very long time. I highly recommend this guitar!

My opinion is yes, go for a laptop. While I love my Surface for on the go and portability, working with non-standard size keyboard combined with/MS operating system version 8x/touchscreen seem to complicate even simple document formatting processes.

Its not tiny so it depends on what type of travelling and what you plan on using it for. It will work fine as long as you're not pulling huge amounts of power, ie power tools or large motors. Just depends on how much space you have.
