And that right there I think exemplifies how the Pro became too much like the non-Pro. Maybe it would've been OK for the 12-inch MacBook to have an oddball slightly-too-thin keyboard, much like it's OK for the iPad to only have a virtual keyboard built in.

But it definitely wasn't OK for the MacBook Pro to also have that keyboard. That's where they went off the wrong path. It doesn't need to be that thin and light and simple; the Air already is. The Pro can and should be a powerhouse.
