I need a second "working slouched out on the couch" small, light laptop I think. MBP 16" is too big heavy for anything except docked or proper work surface/armchair use, iPad Pro is lousy for typing on a couch since attached keyboards need a surface.

I guess I could buy the smallest, cheapest Macbook Air or maybe an equivalent chromebook?

Actually... is there an actually good iPad Pro keyboard case/folio thingie that attaches sturdily enough to use in awkward positions like lounged out on a couch? Last time I had the magnetic "magic" case it was really flimsy, and the other folio thing I had kinda cracked.

Either an iPad Pro with a sturdily attachable keyboard, or a macbook air with touch screen would do the trick. I think Microsoft Surface actually cracked this form factor properly but then it's a microsoft environment.

The OG smart keyboard folio has been my go-to forever, and I live on the couch in the evenings, fingers always on keyboard - sounds like it might not have been your fave tho

Never bought it for the 2015 pro I have now. Bought a Belkin or something that broke. For older 2012 iPad I had the Smart Cover thing that origamied into a pyramid and it never stayed on right.

The Apple magic keyboard is heavy and expensive, but works fairly well for this (at least for my version of slouched typing). Backlit, *slightly* adjustable angle, and the weight helps it stay put.

I have this case from Zagg. It’s fairly light. The (Bluetooth) keyboard is a folio that magnets onto the case. Magnets are quite strong, would need to shake pretty hard to dislodge it. But the pic shows the most upright the screen gets stably. Might or might not work for you.

I saw this thing while shopping for a keyboard recently, so I'd guess there's something in this form factor for your model.
