    Thanks for the input guys! But i use the tv to play games and the htpc mini keyboard is too small.. Basically i need a portable/foldable lightweight keyboard.. Touchpad or trackball is a plus though not essential.. I like the lenovo will take a look at it!

    The Microsoft Arc might not fold, but it's quite small since it doesn't have a number pad.

    Hard to use on anything other than a fairly hard/firm surface, though. Otherwise it kind of just flops everywhere.

    I've used the Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard for most of my portable needs. It is more expensive than the competitors, but it works well, has a long battery life, and more than likely should fit your needs.
