No idea what that means, but I think it's a great keyboard--such a joy to type on. It's got just the right amount of bounce to it. I think Apple finally got it right this go-around.
you could also buy a thing called a ghost cover to help protect the keyboard from dust
 
I am not so sure that Apple has gotten they keyboard right.

My 1.4 had its Fn key get stuck.

This guy's Caps Lock key appears to work intermittently.


On the other hand, maybe they did fix it, and we were just unlucky.
 
I just got my "first" MBP yesterday. I wasn't sure about the keyboard at first. It was weird to type on it with how flat it is. But I've adjusted today being on it all afternoon. I also got a keyboard cover off Amazon. Not sure how much protecting it will actually do but it is cool looking and adds character.

The only thing I miss is the led light on the charging cable

Update from my order placed on the 29th.

Just got a mail from Apple letting me know it has been shipped and I should expect it on the 8th.
DHL says it is in Eindhoven (NL) although I suspect that given the expected delivery date it's on it's way to NL from China and DHL are waiting to ship it.

@bige12 : enjoy !

When I ordered mine a few weeks back, it said it had been despatched from Eindhoven but then the tracking went dead for a week. I kept wondering what was going on. I never guessed it might have been coming from China.

My actual delivery date was 2 days sooner than they originally said. Fingers crossed yours is too.

Mine is expected to be delivered on the 8th.

Has anyone had any luck with theirs being delivered a few days early?

Edit : @iHateMacs sorry I saw your response after my post. I hope I get Lucky too
 
I changed my mind and figured 256Gb might not suit my needs. I cancelled my order and ordered a 1.4/512/16
