Certainly looks like it's designed for desk use as per your thoughts. The keyboard also acts as a case/screen cover when it's all closed up.
I don't think it'd work as you would like as there would be nothing to prop the screen - it would just want to fall backward or forwards all of the time.
Wouldn't you be better with a compact laptop that will allow you to set the screen at pretty much any angle you like?

for all the "post PC" boasts that apple make/were making, they seem to be doing a lot to make the ipad into a laptop/PC!
external keyboard and mouse support!

Mainly because end users have repeatedly asked for it, though, it has to be said, mainly for the iPad Pro. Apple just decided to trickle down the features to its smaller brethren.

but PC simply means "personal computer", if you connect a keyboard and a mouse to an iPad then surely it becomed a "personal computer"?
it certainly can't be called a "tablet" any more if you using it on a desk in a mode that could be described a "laptop-like".

in fact, when was the last time used the "post PC era" marketing nonsense? have they realised it was mostly bollocks and dropped it like they do with most of the nonsense they come up with?
