iPad Pro M4 Thoughts

So, as expected , I couldn’t really resist :roll_eyes: and just made an 800 km roundtrip on a bus across three countries to the nearest Apple Store to buy the 13" M4 iPad Pro, trading in my M1, which has served me quite well for precisely three years (two of which I’ve used it as my primary computing device and I now probably wouldn’t have upgraded either if I had known that it’d become my primary computing device and got enough storage back in 2021).

I was and am still on the edge about getting the Magic Keyboard, though. I was previously reasonably happy with the Logitech Combo Touch.

I had some extra time to play with the MK in the Apple Store as I had to wait for a while for a 90 GB restore to my new iPad to finish :hourglass_flowing_sand: just to make sure that the iPad is fine. (Apple staff was nice, though, as we began talking because I sat there for about three hours.) The issue with the MK outlined in this video is really easy to catch and not at all hard to discover. The whole setup seems to be unstable due to a new hinge design, and I think I’d find it annoying in use. I want to give MK a go, but this makes me reconsider.

Any real-life comments from those who have the new Magic Keyboard? Has anyone noticed this and found this problematic?
