Apple’s new iMac has one of the coolest, thinnest keyboards ever released. How does it stack up to where the company came from? Blake Patterson set to find out, shooting a fascinating set of other keyboards next to it for comparison, including the Newton, the Lisa (seen above) and the NeXT keyboards.
Very nice.

Cool ;-)
The only keyboard he’s missing is the regular white Apple keyboard that preceded the new one. But it is one slim keyboard! Even the Newton keyboard is thicker…. Of course, the Lisa keyboard comparison is most extreme. LOL
