Panzarino on the New iPad Magic Keyboard

High praise from Matt:

“The Magic Keyboard offers a lovely, backlit deck that holds its own against the 16” MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air for best portable keyboards. The key travel is excellent — in between the two laptops in my opinion — and the feel is tight, responsive and precise. This is a first class typing experience, full stop. ”

In summary, it sounds like Apple made the right design decisions. Weight and stability over lightness and the wobblies. Still, this new very heavy keyboard makes a 12.9” iPad with an attached keyboard about the same weight as a MacBook Air.

Now that Apple seems to be pushing down on the gas to make the iPad a legitimate laptop replacement, they need to add a second camera along the side (so it is on top when in landscape attached to this keyboard).

I ordered one for my 12.9” iPad Pro, and it’s on the way. I’ve been using the big iPad a lot since being housebound and I can’t wait to gives it a spin.

The Magic Keyboard is Available for Pre-Order

Apple’s opened up pre-orders on that interesting new iPad keyboard. I’ve pre-ordered the big one and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
