Im watching out for a Black Friday deal on the slick Magic Keyboard for iPads.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple iPads are now powerful and feature-packed enough to almost act as a laptop replacement. The iPad Pro 12.9-inch with its M2 chip and mini-LED display, arguably offers a better display than the MacBook Air M2 , while the iPad Air might not be as slick, its powerful chip and ability to use Apples keyboard accessories mean it has the scope to be a productivity machine.

But to tap into that, youll probably want to get the Magic Keyboard. The problem here is its very expensive, even for a slick Apple device. So thats where the Black Friday deals come to the rescue.

Apples Magic Keyboard tends to get sliced in price when it comes to big sales events, and theres a current deal in the US that slices a very healthy $100 off the keyboard accessory. Costing $199 at Walmart , the Magic Keyboard suddenly becomes a lot more palatable though I admit it's still far from cheap. In the UK, the deals arent as generous, but you can get the Magic Keyboard for 299 at Amazon , which is 20 off that you can use to invest in some iPad apps.

Magic Keyboard: was $299 now $199 at Walmart

To compliment an 11-inch iPad Pro or iPad Air, Apple's Magic Keyboard offers
a smart combination of keyboard, trackpad, and tilting stand to transform an iPad into a pseudo computer. It's an essential accessory for people who want to be productive on Apple's tablets, and with $100 off it's more appealing than ever. View Deal

Magic Keyboard: was 319 now 299 at Amazon

In the UK, the deals on the Magic Keyboard still leave something to be desired, given this deal only cuts 20 off the original price tag for the keyboard that works with the 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air. But I suggest you keep a close eye on this listing, as I suspect the price could drop when November 24 comes around. View Deal

As someone whos been enjoying an iPad Air, Im keeping an eye out for a
bargain deal on the Magic Keyboard. While my workhorse machine is a MacBook Air M2 , it can be nice to have a device with a touch screen for some ad-hoc prodding, as well as being able to quickly detach the machine from the keyboard and trackpad cover. Given Apple seems steadfast in not making a touchscreen MacBook, an iPad Air and Magic Keyboard seem the closest Ill get to such an experience.

I also rather like the design of the Magic Keyboard. It does everything with magnets, which helps it keep a sleek and refined look. It also provides an extra USB-C port for charging, allowing the other to be used for connectivity purposes. I still think its original price of $299 / 319 is wince-inducing,
so it needs to be discounted to fully win me over.

And thats why itll be the iPad accessory Ill be keeping my out for as the Black Friday deals gather pace.
