I many times said i just dont need it, but I would pay 1K more just for the lit keyboard....i type at night alot.......

Yeah I have talked myself out of the MBP so many times but after looking at all the "little" things it just is well worth it IMO.

Keyboard will also be a big plus for me also. I'm sitting here right now in a pitch black room with just the TV on.

It'd be awesome in a dark lecture room with the backlit keyboard. Lots of turning heads :D:apple:

In my days we used pens.. Oh, and the lecture rooms where always lit, and mind you I even studied computer engineering so they better not give us to much bright light or we would never come back!
 
I actually like the new MB keyboard design much better than the current MBP keyboard :eek:

If the next MBP comes with a MB-style keyboard (with backlight of course) then that's a deal maker for me.
 
this has turned into a great thread - thanks to all of you for replying.

I was really surprised how many people were swayed by the "feel" of the MBP - I hadn't really factored that in. I was being drawn to the better screen, higher spec - well and I'll admit it , the backlit keyboard....

any hows the order will go in on Tuesday morning, guess it'll be 2 weeks before delivery...

thanks again
