Hi Andy, I can’t say anything re the sense of touch but I use a mac book air 11 inch everyday and have had it for 3 years now,
I wouldn’t go passed it for quality, I’ve tried the new mac book and I don’t’ like the keyboard, I find it difficult to pick the different keys and my sense of touch isn’t bad. The mac book is 12 inch wide but slightly lighter than the mac book air, The mac book air to me is able to be made more powerfull and has ability to go up to a 512 GB SSD, 8GB ram, and increase to an I7 2.0 possibly 2.2 GHz processor. It is by far to me the better product for money, F & J keys have indicator tabs but if you needed more there is probably enough space to put small tactile indicators on keys.they’d have to be small though. If you have a mac selling store near you go in and have a look at the different models to see what you think, If your not looking to pay a lot then the Mac book and the mac book air are what your looking for. Hope that helsp.

Thank goodness someone at last understood my request. Yes, the keyboard is very important to me as I've very poor sense of touch. I've been reading up on the Macbook, the Macbook pro, the Macbook mini and the Macbook Air and I'm completely lost and even more confused. So, it's nice to have your recommendation and I'm feeling that I'm at last getting some responce to my enquiries. You see, I have no experience at all of Apple products. All of the Mac's I mentioned above. I've never ever seen or touched on and all of my friends are Windows, so I'm in a fix. So thanks again for your responce. It's getting me thinking. Very best wishes. Andy. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kimberly<mailto:kimbersinbox1...@gmail.com> To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com<mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 10:01 PM Subject: Re: Mac book recommendation please The Mac air keyboard is quite good. The keys are full size and have a nice firmness when typing.

I do need a portable device because I'm going on a 14 day hotel trip later this year to train with my new dog, and I simply could not stand being stuck in a hotel room with nothing. Also, I'm hoping to have a holiday later this year if I can get the dog out of the way firstly, so again, I need something to keep me in contact with civilasation . In addition, I think it would be quite nice to go to my local pub and sit there doing my email and other things, so hiring a mac book is no good. You recommend a Macbook Air. Does that have a tactyle keyboard or is there perhaps something better to consider? Very best wishes.

A Macbook Air would be a fine option especially for a secondary machine. Probably low enough on the cost especially on the second hand market. A pro will give you more horse power but if you already have that IMac I think you’re probably in good shape. Here’s a whacky idea, what about renting a Macbook Pro for a few days for the training and then going back to your iMac when you’re done. Less expensive and you don’t end up with hardware you don’t sound like you need. On Jun 28, 2016, at 10:42 AM, Andy <meikle.ai...@btinternet.com<mailto:meikle.ai...@btinternet.com>> wrote: Hi all. I have just purchased an imac desk-top computer but in order for me to undergo one-to-one training in my area, I need to buy a second hand portable device. Once I have a recomendation, a friend can have a look on Ebay. I'd like a mac lap-top and if possible, running El Capitan. My sense of touch is very poor so I need a mac book with a pretty good keyboard on it. I could attach the Apple USB keyboard if necessary, but that's another bit of equipment to carry. So should I buy a second hand Mac book pro: a Mac book or something similar? Your advise would be very welcome as I'm just dying to take up this training opertunity. Very best wishes.
