Don't you find that small keyboard a pita to type on? :)

I find it wonderful to type on, at first I was a bit sceptical about using it, as the lack of numeric keypad, but has not bothered me

Very lovely keys, I really wish they made one with black keys to match the MBP

I'm buying one soon, but getting the full size one, can't be dealing with something that small :P

They remind me of the low profile casio calculators, you know how they have that lovely soft quiet plastic key sounds. I've loved this keyboard since they were released. Plus the wireless is a real space saver.

I've got both. I love the smaller keyboard. It may look small in photos, and it is but the keys are full size etc and all it lacks is a num pad which at home and on my iMac I rarely use anyway. If anything the longer keyboard is actually to long. I got one to use at work etc and it is surprisingly long.

And wireless is great, no problems at all there. :)

It's quiet a nice keyboard. Batteries last ages, it's a good size for my hands and naturally 'just works'. However it hasn't stopped me lusting after a Filco and getting a blank key set with it so I can replace all the Windows buttons, since the Apple keyboard feels a bit 'slow' sometimes, like I know I could type faster than I am right now if I was using something that didn't require me to bottom out all the time. I'm using a keyboard tray and the 'clunk' of typing quickly gets pretty loud as well.
 
Oh yeah, better post mine. Sorry for poor quality shots with too much glare. Needs a vac.

The donut-like things are 'Wrist Donuts' which are keyboard wrist rests that you wear. I couldn't find a keyboard rest a nice width for the Apple keyboard and thought they'd probably end up shifting all over the place so this kills two birds with one stone.

Other stuff is obviously the 2010 Mac Mini (RAM upped to 8GB), iPhone 3GS, you can see the charging base for the Mobee Magic Charger on the right too, mouse mats are the BoogieBug XL as a desk mat, Corepad C1 Medium for the mouse and some cheap one off the bay to put the kb on. I also put teflon strips on the feet of the mouse, which has improved the glide no end.

Yeah really glad I went with the HP. I had a 16:10 laptop before this and couldn't face changing to 16:9, plus it worked out cheaper than a 21.5" iMac, which would have been a bit small, but the 27" was both too much £ for me and too big for the cubby hole space I have.

Currently haggling on Head-Fi for a DAC I want, then I just need active nearfield speakers and a 4-5 bay server box thing for all my music and I'll be sorted. Bit-perfect output straight out the box, thanks Apple! <3

EDIT - as you can see I have the sun aiming straight at the screen too, so it being matte is helpful in that regard as well!

Some cracking setups here, toying with the idea of an Apple TV2 next but will probably hold out for the new processor model that is rumoured to be on the way.
