Use Apple's Magic Keyboard with backlit keys and trackpad (which is also a USB-C charging dock).
For multi-tasking, use Stage Manager to have thumbs of screens along the left side of the screen, and use the window affordances to resize windows with overlaps to have 2 or 3 applications open at the same time per thumbnail (a thumbnail isn't an app, it's a space or desktop).
Windows can 1/2 overlap the thumbs, so it doesn't take much screen space, and you can also overlap or leave showing the dock across the bottom.
This also works with a second monitor which can extend the desktop space instead of mirroring to it, then you can have a half dozen apps open at once.
Of course the killer feature is 5G, all day battery, and paper-notebook level of portability.
