100% haha much heavier. I'd say about twice as heavy.
Got a tip for us?

That’s a shame...
Yeah, thought that all might be the case sadly. Was just hoping there would be somewhere to stash the pencil away more securely or a way to control more on the iPad more organically on the keyboard. Are any keyboard shortcuts working?
Id say about twice as heavy! but I do like it a lot, having integrated trackpad is nice, I'd say the weight is the only downside for me.

The shortcuts work for go home, search, switch apps, show dock.
That does look very nice.
Not really need one with the lockdown now, but really tempted to buy one when the locks are off the door.
I currently have my Magic Trackpad 2 on the sofa for scrolling So will be great to not need that on the sofa as it’s not as comfortable as it will be on the magic keyboard with trackpad.
Only thing i wish it had was on volume buttons on the keyboard but guess using it via control Center will do.
it is very stable, and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall backwards too much (though I would still be careful!)
Thanks for taking the time to answer, sounds good to me!
No progress, still says preparing for shipment. Hopefully we see process by tonight? As it always arrives first available date. Is yours the same?
The lack of media keys are a real shame, but i guess there’s limited space. I guess control centre or Siri are the answers that Apple have for us.
I unfortunately do not have a scaleI know I know lol and yes it is for the 11"
Thanks anyway. I hoped it will be lighter them a MBA or MBP but i guess it is nearly the same or maybe heavier (at least for the 12.9 inch).
Aaah yeah mine is still sitting at the same “Preparing for shipment” status too. Seems to have sat at that for 2 days+ now though? Fingers crossed.
I’m sure we will both get it Monday morning
Hmmm...you think? Even if it is shipping from within the UK, Sunday pick ups/carrier movements are pretty slow!

Just thought of another question: Does the “hinge” part have any kind of battery capacity within in it? So if you have the USBC plugged in...when you unplug it will it retain or pass through/charge any power to the iPad when not plugged into a wall?

I’ve had orders through Sunday before for Monday. Think my iPad Pro arrived on a Monday morning. My wife works nights so it’s good job I’m working from home as no doubt will get an ear full if the door bells goes so i will be looking at for it. Which is why i hope it’s DPD who will deliver as least then we know when it’s coming.
Totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder. Saves $20. Also buy with ApplePay for further 3% cash back.
Just got off of chat with Apple and they adjusted the price. Appreciate the tip and reminder. Every little bit helps. It’s expensive but I use the device literally all day long. I get a lot of value from it, especially since I use it to teach.
