My Son In Law saw this and told me about it so I thought I would share it.

But…if you want to make factual statements then, as an Apple shareholder I'm sure you know iPad sales growth just had its best quarter since 1Q 2023. Of course Apple does not announce sales volume by model, but it's safe to assume the sales growth was caused by its two newest models — the Air and M4 Pro.
For those who enjoy tablets the Air and Pro are great models. Add a keyboard case (I use Logitech's because Apple's is a bit too spendy) it's a very close laptop experience plus touch screen, something the Apple laptops don't offer.
Also the fact that you choose to bring up Apple sales numbers and stockholder BS and the fact that you say you use Logitech KB which is a heavy as a brick tells me you are a complete liar.
Having said that, try to buy a cellular model compared to wifi if price is right.

As for me personally, say what you want, and I'll smile because I don't know you from jacksh.... But my house is a virtual Apple showroom, including an M4 MacBook Pro, so yes, I do know what a real laptop experience is, and I still need that which is why I still use Macs in addition to iPads. Also been using Apple products since the early 80s and a Mac owner since '88 so I have plenty of experience with Apple OSes and products.
My point was the keyboard case w/ trackpad gives the iPad a MORE laptop experience it previously did not have. It's slightly below the level of a low end MacBook Air only because iPad OS doesn't have a good file system and relies more on iCloud. Apple's addition of trackpad support was a game changer though as far as being able to use the iPad for light productivity tasks.
As for the Logitech's weight, it's actually about the same as Apple's Magic Keyboard. I don't travel with it, it sits on my breakfast table, so weight is a non-factor for me, for regardless, if someone wants a convertible laptop the case + iPad weighs about the same as a MacBook Air. The Logitech has its weak points, but so does the Magic Trackpad.

Or....I can also get downvoted from people who don't understand the reason for a cellular iPad.
