Very small. Probably the smallest console Nintendo's ever made, and they've made some very small ones, the OG Wii and the redesigned Famicom are tiny.
That said, I actually think there could be more than one home (console). There could be one made for Japan and what Nintendo deems the "family market" and one made for the tastes of higher end Western consumers. If NX is supposed to be one unified software ecosystem and the hardware is more tailored through different models to be able to appeal to very different markets and consumers, then I wouldn't be so quick to assume that there can only be one home model either.
