I do like the iPad Mini 7. What I really wish is that there was a Magic Keyboard for it. That will bring the iPad OS software to life with the multi-tasking, external monitor support, etc. It enables the iPad Mini to be a productivity machine. I realize it's got a small screen and the width of the keyboard will be limiting...
Take a look at the concept. It's intended to work just like the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. Same hinge design, materials, backlighting... but the keyboard has function and number rows eliminated. While it's not in the design, the top row would have numbers written in smaller font than the letters, etc. The keyboard design is designed to try and preserve the size of each letter key as much as possible and to make room for the largest possible glass trackpad as well.
*The design has some quirks I know (e.g., the layout on the side hinge shot).
