The feel of the mbp keyboard is alot more solid imo.

I dunno that wouldn't bother me as long as it wasn't black. The look of the MBA keyboard is really what killed it for me. bleh. if they make it silver then maybe I can deal but if not, looks like I'll be holding out with my First Gen MBP until the day it kicks. (which shouldn't be anytime soon :p)
 
I voted for the MB/MBA's keyboard. I liked the keyboards on those better than the MBP. I own a MBP though, for the bigger and MUCH better LCD (than the MB's anyway, the MBA's LCD is very nice) and the better graphics card for gaming.

If you happen to get a lemon MBP keyboard, then you'll definitely want the MBA keyboard. Contrary to popular belief, the MBP keyboard keys are not aluminum, but plastic with a metallic finish. Depending on your typing habits and the chemical makeup of the natural oils on your hands, that metallic finish can fade, and you get nasty black plastic peaking out.

Wooow...

However, I assume you do write a whole lot, and it's easy to see get proof for which letters that are the most commonly used in the English language (assuming that's what you write). Quite useful for next to you play Hangman! ;c)

*starts taking notes* :p
 
I don't like the way the keys are spaced apart on the MB/MBA. I'll stick with the current pro layout.

The keys are identically spaced.. The MB/MBA keys are cut straight down while the MBP keys have a slope on all four sides. It appears the MB/MBA keys are spaced further apart but in actually they are identical.
