Whether we choose to work from our local branch of Starbucks or a sunny beach caf, the way we work has changed radically.Some of the drawbacks of using a laptop on the move is the cramped keyboard, small screen and lack of a mouse. Not everyone finds a trackpad conducive to productive working. However, for those of us who still prefer a full-sized keyboard and mouse, there are options. For example. I recently reported on Logitechs Casa portable office. Today Im looking at an alternative to Casa in the form of the latest ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp Combo.Housed in a handy zippered carry case, the ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp is a portable office consisting of a tri-fold Bluetooth keyboard, a mouse and a fold-out stand that can accommodate most types of laptops or tablets.

There is a separate row of function and multimedia keys that can work with both Windows and macOS computers. The keyboard also plays nicely with iOS and Android devices. A battery inside the thin keyboard can be recharged via a USB-C port at the rear.There are three Bluetooth buttons on the keyboard for pairing with up to three separate devices which can then be switched between with a keypress. In addition, the keyboard can also connect to a host device using the 2.4GHz wireless USB-A dongle stowed away in the body of the mouse.The low-profile wireless optical mouse in the kit is powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery and there is also a USB-A Bluetooth dongle.

[+] portable office setup.ProtoArcThe laptop stand in the kit is a scissor design made from aluminum alloy and painted black. The stand opens to produce a sturdy platform for any laptop between around 13 and 17 inches. Adjustments can incline that stand at an angle ranging from 10 to 40 degrees to achieve the optimum viewing angle for the user.The underside of the stand is protected with rubber silicone pads that stop it and the laptop from sliding around. The pads also protect any delicate or polished surfaces that it may be used on.All three of the pieces that make up the ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp Combo can stowed neatly away in the padded and zippered case, which is small enough to slip in a backpack with a laptop but tough enough to protect the peripherals. A USB cable is also supplied for charging the keyboard and mouse when the batteries are depleted.There is little doubt about how much flexibility the modern laptop and internet have brought us. But if, like me, you struggle using a laptop keyboard and trackpad, the ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp could be the solution for anyone who finds themselves working in an unfamiliar location where they need a full-size keyboard and the flexibility of using a mouse without being weighed down with full-sized peripherals which can be both bulky and heavy.Pricing and Availability: The ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp Combo is shipping now and costs $99.99 / 74 / 99.Tech Specs:KeyboardDimensions folded (H x W x D): 215.50 x 119.70 x 20.95mm.Dimensions expanded (H x W x D): 386.39 x 119.70 x 12.35mm.Keys: 105, including numeric keypad and shortcut row.Switches: Scissor.Connectivity: Dual mode (2.4G and Bluetooth), compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android.Battery: USB-C rechargeable; 150 days standby time.MouseThree buttons and a scroll wheel.Dimensions H x W x D): 23.3 x 58.98 x 108mm.DPI settings: Adjustable DPI.Battery: USB-C rechargeable; 200 days standby time.Laptop standDimensions: 256 x 55 x 8mm (folded).Material: Aluminum alloy.Compatible laptop sizes: 13 17.3-inchesAdjustment Angle Range: 10/20/25/30/35/40.
