Of course it will. It has bluetooth built-in. I'm using a wireless keyboard and Might Mouse with my Macbook right now. A Macbook Pro will also work fine.

I'm almost positive that the answer to this is yes. As long as you meet the system requirements:
- A Bluetooth-enabled Macintosh computer
- Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later
- Existing keyboard and mouse for setup

Ok cool. Is it worth it? I use my laptop w/ no wireless keyboard and mouse and at school everyday, but at home I'd like to use the wireless attachments. Do those of you who use it, keep your laptop on a table while sitting back with the wireless keyboard and mouse? Sounds nice.

Yep, pretty much. I take my Macbook to work (though granted I take the mouse with me) and use the internal keyboard/trackpad/mouse while at my desk leaving the external keyboard on my home desk. Also use a huge external monitor. At any rate bluetooth is very nice to have for such peripherals as I find the Macbook built-in keyboard a tad cramped. Works fine when I'm out and about, but when I'm in the comfort of my own home I use the comfort of my bluetooth full sized keyboard and Mighty Mouse.

I have a new Macbook pro and a wireless mighty mouse. I would have to say I rarely use the mouse. This is the first laptop I have owned where I didn't find it necessary to have a mouse attached.

I have the bluetooth keyboard and mouse at home on my desk. I like the mighty mouse because I do a lot of video editing and so the trackpad is a no-no. Got the keyboard because otherwise it would look weird and now my MBP can sit at the back of my desk and I can view the 15" MBP screen and my 22" LG screen at the same time. Works fantastically.

I will buy one when they include a trackpad on the wireless keyboard heck if
they offered that then I would have to buy a mini for the home theater.

I use my MacBook Pro on a Rain Design mStand at work with the wireless keyboard. It's definitely worth it, IMO - much better ergonomics if you're working at a desk. Shockingly enough, even with the chiclet keyboard, it's wonderfully responsive and easy to type on (just don't look down as it doesn't look it's easy to type on ;) ).

The Logitech DiNovo Edge comes with a trackpad built into the keyboard. Looks much better than the Apple keyboards too
