A:AnswerHi, Librarygal.
Yes, iPads come with a virtual onscreen keyboard that appear automatically whenever you are filling in a field on a form, for instance, or writing an e mail or document, etc. It takes a little getting used to; I frequently will miss the space bar and hit the letter “m” or “n” or the comma by mistake, then have to go back and correct stuff; neverthelesss, the keyboard IS there, so you don’t have to purchase an external one to enjoy all the capabilities of your iPad.
A:AnswerYes. You can use cables that go from lighting (the charging port) to AV or HDMI. You may also be able to connect wirelessly depending on the capabilities of the monitor setup.
A:AnswerI asked my salesman this very question. This 10.2" iPad is not able to be charged with a wireless type charging pad. Note that it comes with a 12 amp wall charger and it is best to use the supplied charger. Tried to charge with a phone sized wall charger and it took forever!
