Apple’s strategy with tablets is set in a clear direction: Make the leashes just as indispensable as a traditional laptop setup. One of the things that helped move the devices in that direction was the new Magic Keyboard with an integrated trackpad. An upgrade over the original 2015 release, this year the model has backlit shear switch keys that our reviewer Chris Velazco enjoyed typing. The keyboard’s precise trackpad and USB-C port both helped the accessory score 84. Chris, however, found disadvantage in the price, limited range of motion and weight.
