I don't care about having a numeric pad

I can use the numbers on the top row when I have need. I normally do anyways unless I'm doing real calculations (because that way my hands don't have to move). But I don't do that very often.

It is the spacing between keys that matters to me.

Cheers,
Ben

though I didn't compare it with anything. The [link|http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html|Tech Specs] say Built-in full-size keyboard.

The keyboard looks a bit 'chiclet' - (Meerkat) - May 16, 2006, 08:08:56 PM EDT

Anyone else think "ThinkPad"? - (dws) - May 17, 2006, 03:34:15 AM EDT

Hook it up to an external monitor. :-) -NT - (Another Scott) - May 17, 2006, 03:12:59 PM EDT

That's my thinking too - (SpiceWare) - (3) - May 17, 2006, 03:14:06 PM EDT

Bigger HD too (80 vs 60). -NT - (Another Scott) - (2) - May 17, 2006, 03:17:16 PM EDT

That's the only difference I saw besides the case color - (SpiceWare) - (1) - May 17, 2006, 03:19:54 PM EDT

You're not supposed to be looking that closely. ;-) - (Another Scott) - May 17, 2006, 03:23:17 PM EDT

I'd like the 17" one myself - (SpiceWare) - May 19, 2006, 08:01:03 PM EDT

Do they have a full-sized keyboard option? -NT - (ben_tilly) - (10) - May 19, 2006, 08:52:45 PM EDT

Bet it doesn't need it - (broomberg) - (9) - May 19, 2006, 09:29:52 PM EDT

Define "need it" - (ben_tilly) - (8) - May 19, 2006, 10:09:44 PM EDT

You'll still be disappointed. - (Another Scott) - (3) - May 19, 2006, 11:46:40 PM EDT

Thanks for the report - (ben_tilly) - (2) - May 19, 2006, 11:57:29 PM EDT

Ok, now I'm confused. - (Another Scott) - (1) - May 20, 2006, 12:52:25 PM EDT
