New MacBook Pro to have MacBook Air Keyboard?

[benmrii]

As long as its still silver like the current MBP keyboards, and not black like the Air, it will be nice.

Same. I don't mind the look or feel of it, at times prefer it on my external KB, but the black looks tacky, IMO.

After having owned the MacBook Air and two MacBook Pros (my current machine) I would have to say I definitely prefer the MacBook Pro keyboard layout. That being said, I don't hate the new layout Apple is using. Whatever the decision is, I'm sure it was well thought out. If I had my way it would stay the same, but I'm only one person so it's not a huge deal I suppose. 🙂

I like the look of my MB keyboard, but most of the time I prefer the feel of my MBP. But I just upgraded so hopefully this MBP will last me for at least a few more years to come... and who knows what they'll look like by then.

after using the chiclet keys on the white macbook, i definitely prefer the old MBP/powerbook-styled keyboard WAY BETTER....the tactile response is much better, and it's also way quieter overall for touch typists....the MB keyboard was way too noisy and plastic-y in my opinion...

Well, if Sony is any indication, the market is adapting MBA-style keyboards. They plan to incorporate the Sony TZ-style keyboard in more models set to launch soon. The new Z model is going to be the centerpiece of the line, so I suspect Apple will follow suit.

I personally like these keyboards the best. 😎

Not sure why this is a recent rumor, since it's been speculated (and discussed here) ever since the MBA came out.

Anyway, I hope the MBP keyboard doesn't change. It's fine as is (but does need more durable paint on the keys).

I really like the current MBP keyboard, I think if they imployed the new MBA keyboard it would cheapen the feel and look of the computer.

It's possible they are only referring to the larger trackpad more than anything else. Letting you take better advantage of the finger gestures.

Love the MB/MBA style keyboard.

Good thing they are doing the same for the MBP eventually.

A MB/MBA style keyboard would take the 'Pro' out of the MBP :-(((

..

i find the macbook and macbook air-type keyboards uncomfortable and not as easy to use as the macbook pro type one. i hope its not true

I prefer the look of a black keyboard on a silver laptop. 🙂

They'd better not put that crap chiclet keyboard on the MBP... grr....
