I'm just glad I got the last rev MacBook Pro, before they mandated a crappy keyboard and a glossy screen.

I'm a little skeptical of the chicklet keyboard myself, but I haven't given it a fair trial yet. The MBP keys are aluminum-colored plastic, actually.

It'd be nice if whoever took this photo would post how Apple resolved the issue. Knowing the way some companies work, they might turn what should be a two minute fix into a multi-day spam without the laptop...
