Yeah, that's the thing. Hardware-wise, the iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard feels like it should be a MacBook replacement. But the OS doesn't do that. To me, it feels like a very muddled product.
An iPad without the keyboard, acting purely as a tablet, has a very clear use case. But adding a keyboard to the mix has never worked for me. For shorter writing tasks, such as writing this forum post, the on screen keyboard is sufficient. Longer writing and coding is just more easily done on a desktop. Even notebook computers are a compromise compared to a desktop. But they have a place for people who need to take computers with them from place to place.
An iPad with keyboard that doesn't do everything a full MacBook can do -- what's the use case for this? Who buys that over a MacBook? I suspect many people buy the keyboard thinking they'll use it, but end up mostly using the iPad in tablet mode. Or they end up being frustrated with that setup and go to a MacBook. If I'm wrong and someone's having a great experience with the iPad + keyboard, I'd love to hear of their use case.
