MacBook Keyboard

Sep 3, 2007 6:57PM PDT

What do people think of the flat (key) keyboard on the MacBooks? Anyone have trouble getting used to typing on this?

I'm new to Macs and was originally going to buy a MacBook Pro. After talking to the sales associate, I am convinced the MacBook is enough machine for me (I have very basic needs). I'm just not sure about they keyboard...it just feels different to me, and not sure how long it'll take to get used to.

will take much less time than you think.

However, if you have a problem, you can always plug in your trusty full sized USB keyboard and all will be well again.

Happy

Enjoy your new Mac
