If portability isn't a major concern, he could get any number of 15" models and add a full-sized bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Or any machine with a docking station. If he does really heavy duty number crunching, he could try to get used to the pseudo-numeric keyboard that most Windows laptops have. I don't know, really,… -

The notebook is about 2 weeks old so it's certainly under warranty, but the internet consensus is that it's a firmware problem that Apple will have to update. There are hundreds of people on the Apple forums complaining about the problem with the newest 13, 15, and 17" MBPs. If you take it in they can't fix it and just…
