Dave,

Even I am confused now Larry's weighed in with the net book, hells this is so easy, Bill Abacus said when buying headphones use your ears to judge which is best and if they look cool on your nut and sound good buy them... on this matter it's a no brainer... if you are reading music from the screen and you can't see the dots you have the wrong equipment, all the battery crap is a smoke screen, you already have power to your KB so use the power lead to your laptop or I pad, the I pad was never made to read music from, maybe you can use it for that and the screen resolution is off the Richter scale an all the rest of screen resolution are tosh compared to it, but it's too small for me and size matters as we all know, especially your side of the pond everything is bigger. (BIG MAC) you started it!!! Dave take not one bit of notice what has been said here, go down the shop and use your eyes.

Tony

PS if you buy the I pad entering data via the screen is for kids, buy a big tablet or laptop like I posted first you in there with the proffs...

Confuse you more now Dave.
