New I disagree about the keyboard.
The keyboard on my (work-supplied) MBP strikes me as a triumph of form over function. I know I type slower on it. My Happy-Hacking Keyboard is much better to type on. A colleague has a real Apple external keyboard and that's better than the MBP's built-in!

If only the keys had more travel.

Wade.

New Take your point, but...
...your favouring the monstrosity that is the Happy Hacking Keyboard reveals you as the vegemite-eating wrong 'un that you are.

New Yes, the HHK is an outlier.
But it's what I have and use. The other option is the Dell keyboard tethered to the desk (we hot-desk)/
