Design, Installation and Features It’s a little larger than a normal sized keyboard with double the width. It’s definitely not a thing you can carry in your laptop bag, rather something that you will leave behind at your office desk. You open it just like a laptop with the keyboard on one side and the stand on the other. The manual is brief, graphical and simple to understand and serves the purpose. You just have to open the stand, place your laptop on it and connect the USB cable, provided with the stand to the laptop. Yes, the Alto connects to your laptop via the USB. With regards to the placement of the laptop on the stand, there are two rubber stoppers which hold the laptop in place. The stand or the support surface where the laptop rests is also rubberized to keep the laptop intact. Overall, I used three types of laptops to check the stability of the setup—a 12.1-inch ultra-portable, a 14.1-inch mainstream and a 17-inch desktop replacement. All three comfortably fit in and were pretty intact. Next comes the keyboard itself, it’s a full sized keyboard with the number pad and extra one-touch hot keys. The keyboard is tactile and comfortable to use and the soft wrist pad is a nice addition. The Alto also provides you with three USB ports. Now there is a catch here. You might be able to plug in two USB devices, but three is impossible. Reason—the stand cannot provide the required power to the USB devices as they power themselves from the same USB port. Logitech knows that well and has made the provision to attach an external power adapter which of course doesn’t come bundled with the device. |
