    I'm going to get myself a MacBook Pro tomorrow morning but have a relatively straight-forward question as a current PC user: how is the MBP keyboard?

    I tried it once or twice at the store and found it to be rather flat, with keys that felt bigger than normal. Is this sort of thing easy to get used to? How do you like the MBP keyboard in general?

    Congrats in advance although I would recommend buying it elsewhere besides the Apple store due to the iPhone craze. Do it early tomorrow. The keyboard is really something we as posters can't give the feedback you need. I have a MBP and love it however they keyboard has felt great to me since using it for the first time. Only you know how it feels and if you can get used to it.
    Your computer at work, home, library or even a friends computer will have a different keyboard to get used to. Again, you just have to use it.

    It's a good keyboard, but I still prefer a good traditional keyboard.
