I was a huge fan of the Logitech Folio keyboard/case with my 4th generation Retina iPad.  It was solid, easy to clean, spill-proof, protective, but added significant bulk to the device. I thought hard when choosing the Apple Smart Keyboard for my iPad Pro.  I have not regretted it whatsoever. The review is right-on. The Smart Keyboard keeps the iPad Pro ultraportable (thinner than MacBook Air).  The typing experience is very nice.  The viewing angle is excellent, and yes it is stable on my lap. A big mystery remains as to why Apple did not include the row of media/function keys.  For the first few weeks I kept pressing the "`/~" key as a reflex having gotten used to the "home" button on my old Logitech keyboard/cover.  I'm finally reprogramming my muscle memory to stop doing that, but I miss it. I disagree somewhat, in that, this does become a full laptop replacement for someone like me. The split screen multitasking is very usefull when used with the Apps designed to take advantage of it, and there are certain advantages over a laptop including LTE, Touch ID, "instant on" (from sleep), amazing array of productivity apps including some flagship products from major vendors etc. Not for everyone, true, but perfect for me.
