Advantages: Easy to use

Disadvantages: Short Cable.

Apple's Laptops are at the fore front of design, and this is no exception. It looks cool, is very easy to use and the build quality seems fantastic. However, like most other Apple products, this is expensive compared to other products. There were a couple of problems with the Wireless one that some people may find annoying, but this fixes these and although wired, is very good.

The packaging is clean and simple like on other Apple products, but keeps the product very safe with padding around it. It has lots of big text to make it easy to identify the product as the box is very similar to the wireless version. The box is easy to open and can be used to store the product when you aren't using it as you don't have to destroy it to get to the item like on other products.

It is very easy to set up, anyone can do it as you just need to plug it in. However, it does take up a USB port which is very annoying. It does include one on the keyboard, but the wire from the other item can get in your way, and is very messy all over the desk. It is very light, and easy to move around, but also quite a lot bigger than the wireless version. The cord isn't very long, so you can't move far from the computer, or use it on your knee. It is very easy to type, but very sensitive so you can sometimes press a key accidentally, but this is easy to notice than in the wireless version as there is no lag.

This is better than the wireless versions for a couple of reasons. First, there is no lag when typing making it easier to use. Also, it is cheaper, and quite reasonably priced compared to other products, but still more expensive.

I have had no problems with the workings of the machine.

Overall, another great product from Apple. It is perfect for any Mac owner as it blends in with the current line of products. The keyboard is very easy to use and the build quality is fantastic, with no reliability problems. It is better than the wireless version, as there is no lag and it is cheaper but still quite expensive. It is also very restrictive as the cable is very short, so you can't move around a lot.

Summary: A great product, for computer owners.
