Hi all, looking for some advice as I'm really confused as to what to go with,

Just purchased an Apple Air 64gb (4th Gen)

Initially I have bought the pen, but I'm starting to find I don't use it much (I feel like I'm more using it for the sake of it) i cant draw to save my life so loses its effectiveness there.

If it take back then Pencil it opens up the money to be spent on the Magic Keyboard, or do i go with the Logitech Folio touch and save even more money?

Both have pro's and con's.

Mainly i would say I use the iPad for work and viewing media (hence I just feel I won't utilise the pencil for what its worth)

I can see me using the keyboard whilst in bed (is the kickstand really not that great for this? as well as lap use) and is the Magic keyboard way better for this purpose?

Viewing, media wise, i take it on the Magic keyboard you need to have the keypad laid out in front like a laptop if you want to use it ''as a stand'' as such? whereas the Logitech folio folds under and sits as a neat stand like a normal case for viewing which is good. i.e. if I had it on a bedside cabinet then with the magic keyboard the keypad has to be laid out fully in sight?

Really confused where best to spend my funds and looking for peoples advice taking in all of the above?

Help me decide! ha

Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot of options for the Air.

The Logitech Touch fails if you plan on using it on your lap or lying in bed. The MK does this much better.
Depends on your use case.

Also, do you need a track pad? If not, there are the usual no name stuff from Amazon and Aliexpress. Those are a bit of a crap shoot IMO.

I did run into a new one by Zagg. Looks interesting although not a fan of the “sqircle” shaped keys.
