The downside though is the keyboard backlighting. The Nextbook Flexx 11 keyboar provides a sturdy enough base.

This one is the real deal, rigidly attached, and with a full adjustable hinge to let you position the screen how you want, or close it up like a laptop, even putting it to sleep in the process. Its docking connection frees you from the “tables and desks” limitation imposed by wireless or flap-cover keyboards.
Here lies the biggest selling point of the device. The extra screen area definitely is noticeable although it’s only an inch and a half over your average large tablet size, that’s a lot more area than it sounds like, providing a quarter more raw area than a 10 inch tab. The crisp and vivid colors do help in that regard, so you’re not likely to be disappointed.

It’s better than the 720P HDTV standard, although stretched across the 11.6 inch screen it still gives a pixel density of only 135 DPI. The screen features a 1366 x 768 resolution that is, appropriately, much more common on laptops than on tablets. On the bright side, with the USB ports on the keyboard, you could practically use it as a docking station for almost anything, needing only that, power, and an HDMI hookup to become a full PC. The Flexx isn’t going to provide a lot of juice to those ports–not that any laptop does, but this will likely be less–so any larger peripherals you want will need their own power supplies. Of course, “small” is relative there’s nothing stopping you from hooking up an external hard drive or the like, except for power. The Nextbook Flexx 11 keyboard includes full-sized USB.ĭisplayThe keyboard is relatively less interesting technically, but for the two full-size USB Host ports, one on either rear corner, making it easy to hook up flash drives or other small peripherals. This is another one of those design compromises if you want the huge, bright screen and extras like USB Host, you need a dedicated power supply. No, unfortunately the Flexx does not charge off USB its power requirements are simply too high, demanding wattage that current USB chargers aren’t equipped to provide. This power connector is an old-fashioned barrel-type receptacle for the included 3 amp AC charger. There’s also 3.5mm jack for headphones, and lastly, a dedicated power connector. Look carefully and you’ll also see a reset button and built-in microphone. A microSD card slot for memory expansion, which Nextbook guarantees to be compatible up to 64GB, although there’s no reason why larger cards shouldn’t work. There are standard microUSB and microHDMI connectors for transferring files or connecting to external monitors. Moving on to the technical portions of the design, the Flexx doesn’t lack for options there, all of which sit along the tablet portion’s left side as it fits into the keyboard. A more serious docking system would run the risk of breaking the connector, so that’s avoided, but you should be prepared for occasional inconvenience or disconnections. This is a little looser, so it isn’t one hundred percent secure at all times the keyboard can sometimes lose contact with the pressure pins if things get wiggled, making the tablet think it’s been undocked. The dock uses simple Surface-type contacts, rather than a slide-in docking connector. It’s a tradeoff, of course, but it’s probably one of the better ones. Also, without having the “twist and flip” option, you do have to carry the keyboard separately if you want to keep that option available while using the tablet as a tablet. Not too badly, but it takes a little getting used to. For starters, because all of the really important hardware is on the screen side, the keyboard is actually thinner than the vertical portion, putting it slightly out of balance. It also beats the “twist and flip” style of designs used by laptop hybrids, in that it enables a true tablet mode without the bulk of the keyboard. Unlike cover-based keyboards, this system gives you the solid attachment of a real hinge, so you can use it at various angles or just on your lap, rather than absolutely having to rest it on a table. This design actually has advantages over the keyboard covers for the Surface and iPad, or the rotatable displays on laptop/tablet hybrids. Once it’s there, you disconnect the tablet by pressing a button at the top of the keyboard and pulling. The docking connector features a plastic tab and hook arrangement that lets you seat the tablet against it and click it into place.
It’s not quite a laptop size keyboard, but it tries, and it’s large enough that you can get the hang of it. Unlike other devices where this might be an extra, it’s included in the sticker price. Included in the standard package is a keyboard dock. Where it really starts to differ is when you look at the full picture. The Nextbook Flexx 11 is also a standalone tablet.
