You can map caps lock to esc on the Magic Keyboard.
But why do you prefer this over a laptop?

For personal use… I like the size, it’s a bit more portable than a 13” laptop (0.5lb lighter with Magic Keyboard, 2.7lb lighter on its own), smaller footprint). It does everything I need (surfing, streaming, email, FaceTime).
Would I be happy with a 13” MBA as my personal device? Sure. I basically flipped a coin - the iPad won because shiny new thing.
For work, inability to run Docker/VMs and install VSCode is a deal breaker.
It doesn't fall off or detach unexpectedly at all. And the keyboard size is close enough to "normal" that I don't notice for normal typing. The only thing I miss is a dedicated ESC key.
All that said, it only replaced my personal laptop. I continue to use a 13" MBP at work.
