[QUOTE="RNDdave, post: 327467, member: 20405"] Wow I'm really sorry to hear that you're not so happy. The broken key is pretty bad - but I think that'll be sorted by Apple with no worries. Taking it to an Apple store might not be the easiest thing in the UK as they seem to be few and far between - where abouts do you live? This page has the loacations of Apple stores [url=http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/]Apple Retail Store Locations[/url] When playing with the blackbooks at places like PC World the keyboards on those are always shiny compared to the outer colour. Similarly the keys on the white macbook are not glossy like the outer casing. Having not owned a black macbook I don't know if the ones I've seen are just well used or if it is part of the design - a contrast. Glossy white macbooks with matt keys - matt black macbooks have glossy keys?? The mouse thing - well I guess that's personal - however I would have thought if the macbook was 'well' used then the mouse pad would show signs more so than any other part. (This is a guess based on what my previous laptops have looked like after a few months of usage - the trackpad is the part that seems to show the most use) Either way I hope you get this sorted out soon, if you're lucky enough to live near an Apple Store I think they keyboard might be one of those things they could fix right there and then. Good luck with this. [/QUOTE]
