How many scratches are on your portable?

[S600MBUSA]

How many scratches/marks do you have on your notebooks?

Does it bother you?

Well, how many do you have?




My MBP = ZERO.
Iz takes carez of mi MBPz

[amoda]

None, nada, 0! I'm one of those "anal" types, for a lack of a better word.

[desenso]

None... Neither did my last one, which I had for 1.5 years.

[heatmiser]

The only way a scratch could bother me would be if it were on the screen. Besides that, I couldn't care less.

[chariotofFIRE]

this is the reason why i dont bring my mbp outside.

and best believe im not gonna put a "condom";) over my labtop or any electronic i own.

[RITZFit]

I have one tiny cut in the metal near the hinge (donno where it came from but its barely noticeable). apart from that and a tilted power button, my mbp is golden :D

I'm guessing you drive a 1978 Ford Pinto. Just as long as it gets you to work, right?

[0sX Le0p4rD]

Not very many. I treat all of my electronics nicely.

I don't even have a car :^) But my mac is a G3 iBook that's at least four years old, so as long as it allows me to compute, I can't tell whether it's scratched or not. :D

[WillMak]

TOO MANY TO COUNT on my macbook. I have never treated any of my previous laptops with such harshness and lack of care as my macbook which made me love it even more. It's a tool!

[CP1091]

I always try to keep everything looking new.. just because I feel better using them that way..

Unfortunately when I got my first "sock" for my MBP, I zipped it up and caught the corner and took a little paint of... :(

[teleromeo]

Only the regular user marks. I use my 2 and a half year old Powerbook every day and take it from home to work in an axio backpack that I bought for it.

[tMac85]

i have one scratch on the bottom. i think from something on my table top, other than that NOT ONE!!!!


its been 6 months with my child(MBP) and i havent gotten a thing on her...

knock on wood!.

i also wipe it down twice if not more a week...

[Scarlet Fever]

I have millions of tiny hairline scratches on the display case of my MacBook, because it is the high-gloss white. The black bottom case has one scratch, probably because I put it down on a screwdriver :o

[EvryDayImShufln]

My old MBP that I sold: 1
My new MBP that I bought 4 months ago: 0 :D

[Ilovemygeek]

0 I have a gelaskin on the top case and I put the original foam keyboard cover on it before I pack it in my case.

[robbieduncan]

None that are distracting/easily visible, but there are probably hundreds if not thousands of small marks. It doesn't bother me at all. It's a 20 month old tool that has been used extensively. If I wanted it to be a work of art I'd have put it in a glass case and never used it.

[steve31]

Zero on both my macs but I have the Uniea U-Suit on both my macs and use the Radtech ScreenSavrz to protect the screen.

[GoxKok]

I have a b ig ol one on the top from when I swapped RAM and forgot the towel.... But it makes it MINE!

Ben <3 MBP

[skyrider007]

No scratch so far, however there is a mark (tiny black dot) near the Apple logo. I guess it's bad paintwork or powder (anodized aluminum) work or whatever. I'm trying not to think about it or I will go suicidal.

[Cybergypsy]

none.....at all

[119576]

None. I take good care of my baby.

[PCRanger]

Just the expected amount from carting it back and forth to University for a year in a laptop bag. Each tiny mark just shows another day of hard work for my Macbook and I! ;):D

[LDO2104]

Zero on both my macs but I have the Uniea U-Suit on both my macs and use the Radtech ScreenSavrz to protect the screen.

Have you ran into any heat issue utilizing the U-Suit and any other issues. I'm considering getting a U-suit or SeethruHard by Speck.
Thanks
Rich

[ozziegn]

zero scratches on my recently bought 2.2GHz MacBook. I baby all my stuff in a ridiculous way.

heck, I'm so freakin' anal about my stuff it's silly. :p

RichNo problems at all using u-suit. Its a two piece shell and does not get warm at all. I was worried about using the speck shell because it could cause scratches also the speck shell scratches very easy and looks like crap in my opinion. U-suit looks much better and fits like a glove!!:D

Mine is very worn as well. I have scratches and pits all over the palm rests from extreme use. In school I was used my laptop 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week for almost a month on a huge project and it got very beat up. It doesn't help that my wedding ring scratches it too when I'm not careful. I also slipped and fell on some ice and damaged the corner by the power cord connection.

[gpeden]

The top of my MBP was perfect when I surrendered it to a dealer yesterday to have a defective DVD drive replaced. The lady at the service counter flipped it over onto a hard counter to remove the battery and read the serial number. I told her in a very restrained manner that the bottom had rubber feed to protect it and a caring Apple service provider would flip it over onto something soft. She said "oh we're very careful with these" as she all too carefully (in an exaggerated manner) placed it back on the rubber feet. Sigh...... I might need to refer them to this statement of fact after I inspect it when I pick it up :eek:

Cheers!

[Brianstorm91]

Mine doesn't get scratched as it stays on my desk 9/10 times :)

[lil'homunculus]

i managed to drop a stainless steel ruler about 3" from above my MBP and put a sweet little 1/4" red scar in the menu area of my screen. Can only see it from certain angles. Have tried to scour out with a Q-tip and toothpaste to no avail and have heard that certain CD scratch products may take care of this. Has anyone here had any success? cheers, vic

[Oirectine]

I think this guy is the winner (loser?):

[Hmac]

My MBP is brand new, but I take no special care of it. It's a tool, and I have no ego-investment in it. I care about how it works, not how it looks.

I do remove my watch to use it, but I do that because the MacBook Pro scratches my watchband, not because my watchband scratches the MacBook.

I am about to buy a MacBook in 2 weeks, but my HP laptop has a "scratchproof" coating and has about 100 scratches after only 1 year of use...

[sk8r527]

none on my mbp

thanks:cool:

[puckhead193]

one and its on my ram cover on the bottom of my PB almost 4 years old.. not to bad

[AirborneAngel]

Alright, the battery release screw thing on the bottom is all bent, the handrest on the right side pops out at an odd angle, when I close the macbook it does not come to rest in the correct position (a bit offset), there is peeling on the black casing by my right wrist, but other than that we're all good.

[Justinerator]

None, nada, 0! I'm one of those "anal" types, for a lack of a better word.

me too. I don't let anyone use it... haha :D

It's a little over a year old, but it looks brand new

[phungy]

None here as well :)

[comptr]

None on my almost one year old macbook pro.

[zephead]

You couldn't tell if there's any scratches just by looking at mine, but if you examined it and looked at it from different angles then you could see fine scratches all over it. Not too bad. But then again, it's just the top. The bottom looks like a cat used it as a scratching post :eek:. Good thing I don't notice since it's usually facing down and I don't see it. :D

[chrisbeebops]

MBP bought mid-June 2007.

Lots of scratches (more than I can count) on the top and bottom of the laptop, but nothing on the inside near the screen or keyboard. Doesn't bother me because I can't see the scratches when I am using the computer.
