I think everyone understands that the basic desktop falls into the range of modern tablets, such as the iPad in vertical and horizontal positions. Therefore, I propose combining it with a tablet breakpoint, and making the 1280 screen the base breakpoint.
Let's imagine that on the desktop we have a block that opens only when hovered. If I open a site with an iPad Pro, I won’t be able to hover over it for technical reasons.
Sorry for bad English!)
Good luck!
