New iPad Pro & keyboard

reviews

I have been using a 2018 iPad Pro as second display at work and a latest generation iPad Mini for note taking and media consumption. I got the Magic Keyboard for the Pro when it came out. I was never 100% satisfied with either & bought a new 11" M4 iPad Pro when it launched a couple of months ago.

❤️ I love this device.

The screen, the size, the weight - everything basically. I also got the Apple Pencil 2 and just a simple folio case from Apple. I didn't get the Magic Keyboard as:

  • I've given up trying to make an iPad a MacBook and much prefer it as an iPad
  • It made the iPad so much bulkier and unpleasant for me to use

I'm really happy with the cover so far. However, I do sometimes want to use a physical keyboard every now & then so I've just taken delivery of a Logitech Keys To Go 2. It's much cheaper than a Magic Keyboard and, crucially, smaller. I've only had it for a few hours but so far I'm really impressed with it. I'll post a more detailed review once I've had it a while.
