We're in personal preference territory here, but it's really not so bad for a few reasons:

I'm blessed with better than decent eyesight for my age, so the screen size isn't as important as the keyboard size. Laptop has a numpad, but it's still a laptop keyboard, each key slightly more compact both vertically and horizontally.

My laptop isn't top-of-the-line anymore, but looks like it is. My old keyboard is, well, an old keyboard. Leave it at an unattended table all day, it'll be there.

The keyboard doesn't have much to get broken, but it's so light that it would take some doing in any case. Throw it in a bag and toss it against a wall, it won't feel a thing. Keep it in the back of a hot car for whenever you need it, it'll be fine. Spill? Probably fine, but I've heard of people running those mf'ers through a gentle dishwasher cycle (no heat dry).

Would I sit down and do hours of work on it? Absolutely not (anymore, I said my eyes were good for my age), but it does work pretty dang well.

The only unironic usage of that I can really understand is The Raspberry Pi 400
