that black rim around the screen is ugly
detracts from the alu finish
- Jaline0
I agree about the black.

(Aug 7 07, 09:34)"Same keyboard style as the MacBook... everyone seems to think the MacBook keyboard is the cat's ass.

So they're available for purchase in the next day or two? I was going to buy an imac in the next couple of weeks anyways....sweet.

black rim? hhmmm not so much....
- MrD0
lower and thinner the keys get, harder to type
laptops type flat keys (with no support height) are not meant for long term use
just like the puck, more style over ergonomics

I love the Macbook keyboard. It's comfortable and different. The online store is down, so I'm guessing these + iLife '08 + other updates will be available very soon.

Lovely...I couldn't be much happier then I am right now. Life is good.

(Aug 7 07, 09:43)i was wondering the same thing, because i was planning on the same thing. haha.
i'm so excited!

using a keyboard on laptop is different from using it as desktop keyboard
if i had to take the keyboard out and use it on my desktop, i would go mad with pain in my wrist
- Jaline0
Maybe it's better to use it on your lap as Steve mentioned? Obviously most people probably won't though...

i was thinking that too mrd about the keyboard, but move your hands away from the 'norm' keyboard you have now. feel how they are being pulled up in an awkward way (to me anyways).
now lower your hands like you'd be typing on a keyboard much lower to the desk. seems a bit more comfortable to me.
i don't have a pad in front of this keyboard either, which i probably should.
seems having your hands rest flush on a desk typing lower would feel better.
who knows. until i use it i won't know for sure.

YAY! kona and I are imac buddies. We can hold our imacs under one arm and hold hands with the other and skip down the sidewalk with big smiles on our faces!
- Meeklo0
