Arrived this morning. First impressions are good. Here is a comparison picture on top of my 2015 rMB keyboard:
I do have access to one, I'll see if I can snatch for a minute to see if it works with it.Hi do you have by any chance a 9.7 iPad Pro that you can test wether it would be compatible with the new Smart Keyboard?

No, just the front like a smart cover.Does the AFK cover the back & front of the iPad when the iPad's not in use?
Ha ha ha, everything is relative, eh? It feels big compared to the 9.7" ASK. The 12.9" felt gargantuan to me, being that is is actually wider than the rMB keyboard. I think it will be comfortable to use, it certainly feels natural enough to rest home row on.I just got mine and it feels so small in comparison to my 12.9" ASK. I'm hoping the 10.5" is indeed the sweet spot between my Air 2 and the IPP 12.9" that I bought last year.
The 12.9 inch ASK works with the 9.7 inch iPad Pro so I suspect the 10.5 inch would also work. I suspect they are all interchangeable since the connection between them is the same.I'm wondering about this also

Even with iOS 11 no one can create a SD-Card for a Raspberry. Can't bulk-edit Metadata of MP3, PDF, other files....where a larger number of laptop owners consider the iPad as a replacement.

245g according to my postage machine, so should be pretty accurate 477g (LTE) + 245g = 722g making it a full 200g lighter than the rMB (920g) and at 250,6mm x 174,1 cm will be significantly smaller than the rMB's footprint, which is 280,5mm x 196,5mmAny chance you could weigh the smart keyboard? I'm hoping that the combination of 10.5 and keyboard will be substantially lighter than my rMB

Exactly. And, @Aluminum213 - the 10.5" ASK does in fact work with the 9.7" Pro. I was just in an authorised Apple retailer called MacForum in Gothenburg, Sweden a few minutes ago and tested it out and took som pics:245g according to my postage machine, so should be pretty accurate 477g (LTE) + 245g = 722g making it a full 200g lighter than the rMB (920g) and at 250,6mm x 174,1 cm will be significantly smaller than the rMB's footprint, which is 280,5mm x 196,5mm
If I would have to choose one it would be more towards the new Macbook Pros, but it doesn't really feel like either of your examples. Travel is definitely more similar to the MBPs but the rebound is different being the it is a fabric keyboard.That keyboard looks pretty sharp. I may have to give in and get it.
One question. How is the key resistance and rebound? Similar to an Apple wireless keyboard, or more towards the new MacBook Pros?
That's good to hear, the 9.7" feels a bit cramped and the whole experience of the 9.7" iPP felt like they were trying to make it into a Pro, but multiple things meant that it couldn't quite be at the same level (Although i'm not saying the 9.7" is bad in any way - i'm an owner and I love it). I just think the keyboard, screen real estate, RAM, and no USB 3 meant it left things to be desired from the larger model.Yep, noticeably bigger than the 9.7" ASK. Felt very natural to type on when I did some dummy typing. The 12.9" ASK is slightly wider than the rMB keyboard, to give a relative size comparison.
This could be good. I am definitely going to get a free developer account and download the iOS 11 beta immediately and see if the iPP can actually hack it as a viable replacement....

I don't see the need to replace my computer. I think they're both good, and having a 12" MacBook especially means that it will be worth keeping due to the portability. An iPad is a tablet first and a MacBook is a computer first. That's just my personal opinion though.
