Not at near $600AUD it won't. 13" 256gb ipad pro and keyboard is $700 more than a 15" 256gb macbook air.
And you still have a big iphone, with keyboard.

I use my M4 iPad Pro in an Apple Folio, and it suits me perfectly.

I have three Macs, if I need to do some heavy typing.

I bought a tablet, to be a tablet. No interest in using it as a laptop replacement.

What about you?
I have the Mini (before that, a 10.5" iPad Pro) and I use it as a tablet. If I want to be writing emails, letters, etc., I use the iMac at home or MBP wherever I may be. A keyboard for the tablet just seems redundant. (For my needs - your mileage may vary...)
 
I 💯 use my iPad M4 by itself. I used to have a wireless keyboard(that took 3 AA batteries back in the day.) Having used software keyboards since iPhone OG, I just don’t have a need for a physical one. I’m pretty speedy, though…
 
I have one M4 iPad Pro as strictly a tablet for consumption and another M4 iPad Pro with keyboard that runs my photography business along with all my photo processing and pencil use.
 
We have the official keyboard cover on our 2017 iPad Pro but have never used it. It's mainly a media consumption device (streaming, social, news, comics...)
