Oh, and even more seriously, if you’re going to pre-order one of these from Amazon, you should definitely use my affiliate link for either the 11″ Magic Keyboard or the 12.9″ Magic Keyboard. More seriously, if I were forced to guess, I’d say the packaging for the Magic Keyboards will be heavier than that of the Smart Keyboard Folios, which would make these estimates too high, but who knows? Therefore, clearly the 11″ Magic Keyboard will weigh I’ll estimate the packaging weights for the two Magic Keyboards by using the packaging weights of the corresponding Smart Keyboard Folios, which we can get by subtracting the real Smart Keyboard Folio weights ( as reported by 9to5 Mac) from their Amazon shipping weights. I’ll use a semi-rational method, and I could make it sound realistic if I wanted to, but keep in mind that I am really just talking out of my ass. I will now engage in some high level Apple punditry and estimate the actual weights of the devices.
Simply attach the keyboard and start typing.
#IPAD PRO SMART KEYBOARD FOLIO WEIGHT PORTABLE#
Last night, Stephen Hackett linked to Amazon’s pages for the to-be-released-in-May Magic Keyboards for the iPad and noted that their shipping weights are pretty hefty: This portable full-size keyboard connects directly to your 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation 12.9' iPad Pro without needing to be charged or paired. The base model 12.9-inch iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard costs substantially more than a MacBook Air $1349 vs $999.Next post Previous post Weighing in as an Apple pundit However, if a keyboard and trackpad is seen as essential to making the iPad Pro a productivity computer, the fact that it weights more than its MacBook sibling does deserve questioning. One nice thing about the iPad of course is you can quickly detach it from the stand and use it as a pure tablet. The respective iPadOS and macOS operating systems enable very different things, with different pros and cons. Obviously, you can’t cross compare the experiences of using an iPad and a MacBook. For those interested in the 11-inch model, its Magic Keyboard weighs 601 grams for a combined machine weight of 1072 grams. The 701 gram figure is right inline with our 700 gram estimate from earlier this month. The iPad Pro configuration actually closes in on the weight of a 13-inch MacBook Pro (1370 grams).

Plus, the Air would feature a full size Force Touch trackpad compared to the smaller physical version on the iPad’s Magic Keyboard. A 13-inch MacBook Air actually weighs less, coming in at 1290 grams. The combined weight of 12.9-inch iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard is 1351 grams. The design of the Magic Keyboard requires it to be heavy a counterbalancing stand needs enough of its own mass to support the iPad securely in place. The question is whether it is worth it to carry around a laptop-convertible iPad versus a standard MacBook.

This keyboard/trackpad case takes advantage of the new mouse cursor features introduced in iPadOS 13.4, which any iPad users can experience using a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad. The Magic Keyboard is Apple’s first-party accessory which combines a clever counterbalancing stand, a backlit keyboard and a multitouch trackpad in one integrated laptop-like package. Combined, the weight of the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard is more than the MacBook Air, and close to 13-inch MacBook Pro territory. This is heavier than the 641 grams of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro on its own. A MacRumors reader weighed theirs, and it comes in at 710 grams. People expected it to be heavy, and it is. One of the big questions about the product was how much does it weigh, as Apple declined to reveal weight information earlier. As the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro starts getting to customers, the looming questions around the accessory are being now resolved.
