Hi Joe,
I thought it was quieter, as long as you didn't Braille as hard as you had
to on the mPower. Because of the reduced thickness, the action of the keys
is about half as much as it was on the mPower. So, I think people will have
to learn to Braille differently on it. Once I did that, it was no louder
than a laptop in my opinion.

What is the sensitivity of the keyboard? Loud? Soft? Thanks in advance.

The usb ports and the sd card slot are at the back of the unit.
They are built in a little. The one to connect to a computer -
usb - is on the side.
The time I spent with the unit, I found the wheel did not get
in the way.
The case doesn't add that much more weight and size to the
machine. As I said last night, I was able to put it in my
medium sized purse. It reminds me of one of the netbooks.
You take it out of the case from the side. It doesn't appear
difficult at all.

Subject: [Braillenote] Apex design questions
Hi all, but mainly those who have seen the Apex:
I have a couple questions, just out of my own, unquenchable
curiosity about this device.
1. The sd slot: is it still in the bottom of the device like
the mPower, or is it built into the plastic shell like on a
laptop or cell phone? How do you get cards out?
2. Can you fold the top of the case under the unit like the
mPower or pk cases, or will the pocket and rubber feet get in
the way? If you cannot fold it:
3. How easily can it be removed from its case? Most school
desks only have room for the unit, not for the unit plus the
case's top flap, so hopefully you can take the Apex out easily.
4. Are the USB ports on the back surrounded by metal like
those on the mPower, or are they built in like on a laptop?
5. Do you find the scroll wheel gets annoying while typing?
6. Does the case add a lot of size to the Apex? The mPower
case makes the mPower seem much larger than it actually is and
I wonder if the Apex's case will do the same.
7. Is the magnetic flap secure, or could you see it coming open easily?
Thanks for any answers!!
