    Please, just the quality of the MB, not MBP, and NOT the keyboard layout.

    It is spacious and feels very responsive. I think we will see more notebooks using the floating keyboards in the future. The new VAIO TZ incorporates it now.

    I used a MBP for a short period of time, and the key resistance felt a little soft for my tastes... But then I've always preferred more resistance than most people. Other than that, excellent keyboard.

    I guess you missed the not MBP part of the post. ;) Sorry, I couldn't resist pointing it out.

    Well, its great as is...but of course there's always room for improvement in any product. The keys are responsive, and I like how each key is "individual", but it seems that the pressure isn't spread out perfectly even; you can put pressure of one side of the key and watch the key slant that way slightly. Of course, once you let go its back to normal again.

    So yeah, its great in my opinion. But as with any product, its not perfect, so I said it could be better.
