Absolute and total rubbish. I invite you to try any PowerBook keyboard (it's the same keyboard on all three models) before spouting off. Everyone who has used my 15" PowerBook has said the same thing: how impressed they are with the feel of the keyboard.
The problem with the PB17 (and to a lesser degree, the PB15) keyboard isn't the feel, it's the layout. The 17" PB probably has enough room to put in a full numeric keypad, but Apple didn't even bother giving its users the luxury of dedicated Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys, instead keeping that _atrocious_ Fn+Arrow kludge. In something that's supposed to be a professional, high end, desktop-replacement style machine, that's simply not good enough.
