Are you OCD about your white MacBook?

[maclover001]

Whenever I find a small piece of hair on my MacBook, I have to get out the can of aerosol air and blow it off. There's a little speck of something between my "7" and "Y" keys that I can't get out....

Are you like that? The white seems to show every little imperfection.

:D

I'm the same with all of my computers, my new shinny MacBook is no exception ;)

[sn00pie]

yeah, it's annoying when you get those stupid hairs or little dust pieces on your clean macbook, and cleaning them only spreads them out haha

[ib4walrus]

i wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth everyday since the dust/lint/etc. always shows when I put the display to sleep.
Haven't gone was far as the aerosol can though.
;)

[bluaeon]

yes, i do have a little bit of OCD on my new blackbook. i even put the invisible shield on them, but now i think it made it worse cuz now i see my hand marks all over them and i lay that cloth that came with on top of the keyboard whenever i type and i always have to clean inside and out before i close/shut down.

Turn off all of the lights. Do any of you notice light leaking through the lid around the Apple logo?

[Bengt77]

The new aluminium MacBook I picked up yesterday doesn't do that anymore.

[polee]

Somehow I like my notebook looking a bit seasoned like faded jeans. So I don't mind if it gets a bit dirty and grubby.

yup

i just like to think my backlight is super bright :D

[priller]

Not at all, I bought it to use, not to look at. Only part I've clean since I bought it is the screen.

New Aluminum Macbook eh? U must mean a macbook pro?

[JoeDRC]

i don't baby my macbook, if its dirty i'll clean it, the screen is a dust and fingerprint magnet, the only downside for me of having a glossy screen

white shows up dirt a lot more

[arjen92]

I even polish my iMac.

[ProwlingTiger]

Add me to the OCD list. After paying 1000+ $, I intend to keep it ship shape and Bristol fashion.

Nope. Just a bad attempt at a joke.

[wallstreetcrash]

It was a good joke IMHO, I got it the first time :p

I wouldn't diagnose any of you as having OCD.

You could determine the level of your compulsion to fulfill your obsessive desires by trying to determine how much suffering you would feel if for some reason you were unable to fulfill them.

In other words, how uncomfortable would you be if you couldn't follow these cleaning routines? Would you feel stuck, frozen, unable to think clearly until you could fulfill the desire?

[riscy]

I suffer from OCD, but I call it CDO as it should be!!!

[PowerFullMac]

Yup.

In fact, I get a bunch of crap on the bottom of my MacBook coz my mum put bee wax on the table!!! :mad:

[Elven]

Totally owned, still you can nag her for some goodies from Apple :)

[HappyDude20]

I used to be. Over a year ago i'd clean it weekly top to bottom. That screen needed to be shiny for me. .. . but now life's gotten in the way and more importantly worry about like...school work or writing essays....but i do feel a litle embarrassed at times on campus since my macbook may not be the shiniest as it once was.

as for stuff falling in between the cracks of the keyboard, normally i open the macbook and clean it once every 3 months. not too much dirt, but def. some dust bunnies.

over a year ago i opened it, shook the keyboard and quite a bit of pot came out, enough for a good bowl. :D

haha sweet deal!

[mathcolo]

I am OCD about my white MacBook. And I suffer.:(

[iwuzbord]

i have reduced my ocd with a hard shell case.
i dont worry on about the outside,
but the inside, ooh, thats ocd zone.

[RTiii320]

not so much i clean the screen often and the key pads with the "magic eraser" every week or so... i completely gave up on the outside case though. there is NO WAY to keep that scratch proof with out a casing on it.. You can really not notice them unless held at a certain angle so i stopped being OCD about that at least..

[belunos]

See, that's sorta why I'm fearful of buying a white laptop. Not for the little things, but because I'm sure by big greasy hands will stain the palm rest

[maclover001]

:eek: My "W" key is like a millimeter higher than the rest :eek:

I totally agree man..

[iMav]

I sold my 1st gen (white) MacBook earlier this year and the thing still looked like the day I got it. And I drug that thing with me to Iraq for a year.

I take very good care of all of my computing equipment. All my laptops get a Zeroshock case and a screen/keyboard protector for when I close the lid.

[jhomayne]

I used to be. But then one of my friends dropped a match milimetres away from the touch pad and burnt a small hole. :eek:

At least I found a practical use for all those apple stickers!

try one of those magic erasers.. i was smoking actually a few months back and dropped the "cherry" or whatever you'd like to call it, directly to the left of my trackpad.. had almost a yellowish tint to it the size or a dime almost.. now you cant even tell that there was anything there.

If you're careful with it I find acetone to be the best cleaner for the case of the MBP, just be sure to stay away from the plastic pieces. ;)

That won't do a heck of a lot of good for a MacBook. ;)
