Lightweight, Sleek Design, Short Keystroke
Sleek design. Thin profile with a small footprint. Bluetooth connectivity. Keys are soft, fast, and responsive. Excellent software utilities support in OS X.
Lets you type fast. No wire.

Cons

Lacks number pad; small keys may feel cramped for some users.
Learning curve to scale before typing becomes painless, Missing a lot of keys, so, Despite the name, isnt exactly a wireless Apple keyboard, Not supercheap, No black version, Subpar when not used with OS X
Lack of Numpad and Printscreen cluster, Short Keystroke(could be a turnoff)
No number pad on the wireless version. No recharging station. Cumbersome one-button mouse. Keyboard is not ergonomic. Will work with Windows, but specialized software is not available.
No keypad.
