You Don’t Need Magic When She’s Docked

Tim Nahumck echoes a great point made by Jason Snell and Myke Hurley regarding the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro:

Now that I’m working from home for the foreseeable future, I’m using the iPad Pro in a “docked” manner, where it sits off to the right in a stand connected to an external monitor; for input, I use the Logitech K780 keyboard and – new to my home office setup – a Magic Trackpad 2. In this scenario, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro obviously wouldn’t be used, just like my Smart Keyboard Folio sits below my monitor.

As Jason and Myke said, the Magic Keyboard isn’t for turning your iPad into a desktop workstation. If you want to use your iPad at a desk, get a stand and a keyboard (and maybe a trackpad or mouse). This beast is for turning it into a laptop.
