Pros: Good size. Great design. Makes for ultra portable.
Cons: Pricey. White keys will get dirty.
The Bottom Line: Great for laptop users . A bit pricey though. Wired model might work just as well.

| kwbarrett's Full Review: Apple (MB167LL/A) |
I first saw this keyboard at my parents' house. Dad bought one to go with his MacBook Pro. I thought it strange that he would by an external keyboard and stand to use with a laptop. I have a Powerbook myself and my other laptop for work sits in a docking station with an external monitor. After a few days of sitting at the kitchen table hunched over my Powerbook and I understood exactly why dad bought the keyboard and stand.
I've had this keyboard now for a few days and I've already gotten used to it. It is basically the same size as my Powerbook keyboard. The keyboard is nice by itself, but works best with a stand or with an external monitor. In this way, the monitor is up at eye level or higher and you are free to move the keyboard where you like for a much more comfortalbe computing experience. I work as a web application developer and often I spend hours at the computer so comfort is huge for me. Whether in my lap or on the table, I am able to type quickly and accurately. I thought I might miss the number pad, but I rarely find myself needing it. Most all the keys are the same as on the laptop. If I had to say anything is missing, I would say the illuminated keyboard. When this keyboard is being used, the laptop keyboard doesn't illuminate under dim lighting. That's really my only gripe with this keyboard so far.
