I got a 2020 iPad Pro from work with the keyboard and the pencil. It mostly just functioned as a second screen with Sidecar which was incredibly helpful at the time. It was then rarely used. Slowly it became my primary home device for the last couple of years for web browsing, emails and basic office stuff. Still don’t know what to do with the Pencil?
The MacBook Pro I bought at the same time now has half its battery life, fans whizzing constantly and it has a meltdown with Teams. The iPad Pro is still has long battery life and is pretty snappy in comparison.
If you're not too ham-fisted I do recommend buying a pentalobe screwdriver and some plektrums, and opening the thing (your MacBook Pro) up - this is what mine looked like after 2,5 years, after I just pulled all the fluff out it's now back to being completely silent 95% of the time..
