If I were to bet, that's the 13''.

I'm going with the 13". The keys are the only flat part of it to get a semi accurate measurement from. Assuming it would be the same keyboard as the rMB it'd take me like 2 seconds to find the width out. However googling just brings up a long list of people ranting about the keyboard's size... Someone on a rMB just measure the '0' key and tell me the width!

not fake but maybe a proto? or a mockup, just to show the functionality not the product? i mean, look at that "virtual" cancel button, is not even centered to the bat or aligned to the rest of the keys, is not very "apple style".

On one hand, this is bugging me as well. On the other, Apple Music 1.0 wasn't very "Apple style" either, and that's me being kind.
 
I bet if there is no dedicated ESC key on the left end of the magic toolbar then every hit on the area which doesn't show any icon will act as if the esc key was pressed.

Because they need to hate on the Mac enough to justify their purchase of an old late 2013 model a few months ago after getting impatient.

No. I'm buying the 2016 model but I am positive that the design is cleaner without the branding. It is so not Apple to have the branding. I agree with someone from earlier in the thread who likened it to the samsung branding on their smartphones. Samsung branding right in your face is the exact opposite of modern Apple design sense. Even the iPhone tries to keep to branding to a bare minimum and never puts the branding right in your face. Branding around the screen is just plain ugly.

How is that then? The MacBook has the same branding in exactly the same place and is the most modern Mac from a design perspective.

I would like to request that everyone hating on how the toolbar is just a gimmick, come back here when they find it useful and read their post about how stupid they sounded whining like babies

There is no way that is going to help somebody who is a writer or a programmer or anybody who types a lot if it requires them to look at the keyboard while typing. Its going to have be very intuitive to get over that issue.
