It was not easy to make a powerbook that was only 1 inch thick.  One of the
tricks Apple did to make the 1-inch Powerbook G4 possible was to invent a
new keyboard which has very thin keys and shallow displacement.  A side
benefit is that this thing is very easy to type with; I can type all day,
much faster on my Powerbook G4 than with any other keyboard I've ever had.

Fortunately, MacAlly copied Apple's thin-key design, and now makes an
external keyboard called the iceKey.  If you've been spoiled by the
Powerbook G4's keyboard, you'll like the iceKey.  Try one out.
