I use it for real work, but it’s not the only device I use for work. However it fits a pretty specific work niche for me. With instant on and built in cellular with a Logitech folio case, it’s a hyper portable, yet comfortable to use fast and powerful device that allows me to do about 80% of work needs practically anywhere I can get a decent cellular signal. So for me if I need to be away from my desk for any reason, but stay connected its nearly like I am right in my office.

The best camera is the one you have, and the best computer is often the one you have.
I’ve been considering getting the folio, because I can no longer find the Magic Keyboard for my generation iPad (m1).

Kinda annoying that they don’t continue peripherals for their older devices

I like the folio, but have had an issue where the rubber material around the sides will distort around the speaker/vent hole (after about a year). My first one (on a first gen 11” pro), I warranty replaced but the replacement eventually did the same thing.

I upgraded the the 11” M4 pro, bought another Logitech folio, which I was hopeful for because they changed the design, but it had a similar rubber distortion issue. When it cropped up I was outside the warranty but due to the design change that added some plastic around that area and I was able to fix with a bit of superglue.

Despite this issue, I think as far as keyboard cases go they are the best. Would still buy again.

Appreciate this comment!

The fact that despite these issues you still recommend it is quite telling. I'll see if I can get one for my M1 iPad. Typing with the on-screen keyboard just isn't that convenient for longer sessions.
