Hey guys,

can you post pics of your keyboards please? One of the US and one of the UK will be enough :-) I am deciding between US and UK version.

What are the other differences besides the keyboard (and plug of course)? I am talking about Aluminum MacBook.


Thank you

I'm aware that is the MacBook Air and wireless, but the keyboard is the same. Google Images is a wonderful thing when you bother to search ;)

UK keyboard has different enter key.

Nothing apart from the keyboard and the plug. Oh, and the U.S one speaks in an American accent.

I think the reason why UK has different than US is that Apple wants europeans have same layout for logistic reasons?

We have used big enter key loooooong time already ;)

It appears that Shift-3 is £ on a UK keyboard, so how do you type #?

Perhaps Alt + 3???


On the US Keyboard, Alt + 3 = £. It could just be the other way around on the UK keyboard.

Yes - it is. On the UK keyboard Alt + 3 = #
