I will say, I was disappointed the "magic" keyboard only came in White, so I returned it. The Logi keyboard is great though.
With those accessories you would have been better off getting the new MacBook Air M4 for $849
Screen is great, size is the same as older Air so the same case can be used btw. It is faster, the base 128GB is adequate, the M3 is fast and battery lasts longer. It supports Stage Manager, which allows you Windows like capability. A VERY well designed and made device.
I've got mine on black Friday, but this price is OK for what you get.
But like I said, for people who don't need storage, is there a greater benefit in overall longevity of the device in having the more powerful chip?
Anecdote: I have an ipad air 4 and an old ipad 6th gen (7 years old!). I've actually been going back to using the ipad 6th gen for some things and it's perfectly usable for browsing, media consumption, and non-gaming apps.

If I want to email out, I can email on the mac mini via outlook or gmail or whatever via ssd. If I want to upload to cloud/social media, direct on mac mini from the ssd. If I want them on my phone, I can plug the ssd into my phone and transfer JPG's that way.
So I got the cheapest M4 mac mini for $500 and it's plenty powerful. It weighs 1.5 pounds so it doesn't add a ton to what I was already bringing.

Yeah, this is helpful! I'm leaning further towards a MacBook Air now
