Which is exactly what I needed anyway.
I'm still working and I often find it helpful to use iPads in addition to my dual monitor Windows desktop. I have a Logitech K780 keyboard and MX Ergo Plus trackball that I switch between desktop and 12.9" iPad. I needed something with mouse/trackpad that can work interchangeably with a Pro 10.5, Air 3 and 7th gen without constantly having to tinker with Bluetooth pairing. The Logitech Combo Touch fits the bill nicely.
The angle, I can't make it recline more but I can get it straighter by putting Post-It pads between the back shell and trifold cover stand. Don't really need to since the case angle works fine for me on my desk.
At home, I just use the onscreen keyboard on the iPad when I need to type something. I'm usually fully reclined in bed with iPad sitting on my tummy or chest so a laptop doesn't really work well in that scenario anyway. Before I got an iPad, I'd often use the laptop in bed and have it fall to the floor with hinge/LCD open when I fell asleep. Talk about a wake up call.
