Check it out!

Thanks for the review. Question: what happens when you put your Mac to sleep? Can you wake it up from the keyboard by hitting a key? Or do you have to hit a wired mouse button?
Also, when you wake your Mac from sleep (however it's done), is the keyboard instantly active and ready for keystrokes, or does it take a few moments to re-establish a BT connection.
Thanks!

as far as the waking goes, i haven't tried it yet. i always wake my computer by a single mouse click.

am I the only one who likes the design? I think it's much more professional looking and I prefer the sharp lines. Still not sure wether to get it though... I need to decide soon before my 15" comes.

I picked mine up at the Apple Store and I love it. The keys are solid and the preferences provide a battery meter for the keyboard too. So, no unsuspected quitting. Thank God because I would hate to be typing my thesis at three in the morning and my keyboard decides to go to sleep until I give it more cell fuel. I have had it on nonstop for about a week and the battery meter only has gone down around 5%.
Additionally, I swamp my keyboard back and forth between my desktop and laptop effortlessly.
I even used it in a projection presentation which worked great because I was able to sit in front of the large screen from the back of the room and continue to work and assist easily.
The keyboard has a wonderful weight, doesn't slide around like the old iMac keyboards.
Bottomline... great keyboard.

I picked up one today at the Apple store and actually like it a lot. It seems to have a much better feel to it then my Pro Keyboard. The keys feel good and are quiet. Packaging and build are of course Apple great. The Bluetooth setup was so simple and worked perfectly. As the previous poster said it has a battery metter in Preferences so you will know battery levels. It has an on and off switch on the bottom, and no USB ports. I'm pairing with my new 15" PB. I am waiting for the mouse but the Apple stores around me have not received any yet.
