I've been trying to justify this (along with finally buying an ipad), and my main problems with it are:
- It feels like a missed opportunity to solve an ergonomics problem where the ipad could be raised higher to eye level. I realize this would require more keyboard weight though. It feels a bit odd to see photos like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/g61v3c/twelvesouth_cu...
- The usb-c port on the hinge is strictly for charging only since ultimately it connects via the smart connector.
- It's a stretch but it would've been nice if the keyboard was wireless (like the brydge) so one could connect it to other devices.
I get that I'm likely not an ideal ipad user here though, but it seems like microsoft was stepping towards with their whole surface neo concept.
