If this is a superior design, will we see it in Aluminum soon??? Perhaps the chiclet design was necessary for other build reasons???

It seems like that design would be thicker so I doubt they would put it in the Pro laptop where they try as hard as possible to make it as thin as possible.

I haven't seen the new keyboard in person, but from the pics I've seen I think I prefer the keyboard the MBP already has.

Hope not, it looks awesome, but i think it'd be a pain to replace in case it breaks. or if a key pops off. i want the optimus keyboard on the Pro line instead.

That is a snazzy keyboard! I would love to see a version of it on the MBP.

Optimus looks interesting... Reminds me of my Black & Silver Ben Q I use with my Dell PC...

seems likely that, in order to further seperate the book from the book pro...
the next revisions of the mpb will be something unexpected, a new design...

having said that...who knows?

but whatever it is, should be something different from rev1, an obvious transitional design from the previous powerbooks...
