iPad as a laptop replacement

It shipped, and now the tracking is saying it should arrive June 30th, not bad at all! 👍🏻

And now the countdown begins until it arrives in your hands! Not sure if you mentioned and I missed it.. but what are your plans for the M1 11” model?

Yes, I’m looking forward to it! I will probably give my current M1 to a family member for a discount, so it will go to a good home and they’ll get some good use out of it. 👍🏻🙂

I like that bag you got. I have a 13 sleeve already, but I added yours to my cart. I will also get the Logitech Combo Touch again for the 13". Been using it on my M1 11" since I got it, and like it so much I can't imagine using anything else. Can't wait to hear what you think of your new iPad Pro. I know it will be love at first sight.View attachment 2523431

I got the Combo touch 12.9 recently for my M1 (I already had the 11" one) and honestly it takes a lot more space, making the iPad barely usable on your lap, to the point that I am using the combo 11" keyboard with the 12.9 case (it works). There is a lot of wasted space since the keyboard is essentially the same size, but the screen is larger and has a taller aspect ratio.
I took a picture to compare:

Maybe they improved things on the M4, by using that space for the trackpad, but this does not improve the lappability since the screen is the same...

Hey DG! I appreciate you taking the time to make the comparison for me but I still intend to get the LCT. There are two things about the LCT that the Magic Keyboard imo can't do. One is, give the iPad protection even when detached from the keyboard. And the other is, giving it great protection with the keyboard on it. I have dropped my iPad 3X over the years with the LCT on, and it came out unscathed every time. I have no faith that the Magic Keyboard can give that kind of protection. I carry my iPad outside every day for my work, and I depend on that protection. Even the LCT took the falls well, with only minor scuffs. I am 100% going to get the LCT.

Again, I thank you for your thoughts! And....it is always good to see you Dg.😊
