[QUOTE="TennsDog, post: 875569, member: 18790"] Are the keys on the new MBP actually spaced farther apart? I figured it was just because of the design of it (most keyboards have a bit of a slant going down from the top surface, which makes it seem to take up more space). Upon comparing it with my 2004 model iBook G4, this still seems like the case. I have never had any problem with typing on mine. I actually have pretty small hands (for a male, anyway) and did not notice a difference. I do, however, like the feel of the keyboard -- both the smooth texture of the keys themselves and the relative ease with which they depress. Kind of a soft feeling. I actually went into it thinking I would not like the keyboard as much, but I like it at least as much if not more than my old one. If you actually do hate the keyboard, I see two lines of logic: 1) Buy the Mac and figure you'll get used to it and not notice it after a while and you'll then have a machine you really like. 2) Don't buy the Mac because the keyboard is a pretty important part that you will obviously interact with a lot. If it drives you nuts, using your own computer will become an annoying task each time. Deciding which of these two you will follow is up to you. [/QUOTE]
