The Magic Keyboard is not a portable device. It is built and obviously intended to be a desk-based “dock” for your iPad. It’s weight isn’t really relevant, in fact I expect that they added weight as a counterbalance. I use the Smart Folio Keyboard for my iPad as it is lighter and more portable. Not as good for typing but I don’t type as much on the iPad as on a laptop.
I think there are two camps. Those who are constaintly removing their iPad from the Magic Keyboard for using it with touch and those who never it connected all the time.
If you are going somewhere and will want to type when you get there, the Magic Keyboard is coming with you. It folds up to act as a case for your iPad during transit... it is a portable device.
