An ipad to be used with an external keyboard is a very suboptimal typing experience - there is usually no strong hinge to hold up the screen at arbitrary angles.

In my experience this also means you can't 'pick up' the system by the keyboard to move it around (which I do with my laptop all the time) so it feels super-awkward.

For drawing with the pencil, sure it's a great experience but if you need to output a ton of text it's not even close



The Magic Keyboard does solve these concerns (although you should probably wait for a sale)
