I'm weird. I actually like the look of ThinkPads.![]()
I like the look of them too. They're very industrial and low-key. I hate the look of the Sonys, Dells, Toshibas, etc. They all look overdone and cheap.

the real value of most apple product just goes down rapidly within a year, !
I don't see why the top would not be "unibody". The design is actually different from the other tops of the powerbooks/MBP, it would just cost to much to make a new one on a different manufacture process while you already got your top case and bottom case made from this.
Define major damage, because a few scratches and dents for me aren't really major, just cosmetic. A "Major" damage to me would be something that would affect the functionality of the machine, not the look.
Why is that normal operation? If your computer is getting dropped, there's something very wrong with the way you're treating it. If it's getting stuff dropped on it, ditto. Seriously, you pay $1500 for something and you don't do everything possible to keep from dropping something onto it? You deserve what you get.
haha Thank you, I thought I was just weird.I like the look of them too. They're very industrial and low-key. I hate the look of the Sonys, Dells, Toshibas, etc. They all look overdone and cheap.

It's aluminum...
Cracks or dents. Take your pick.
I pick the secret third item, not being so foolish in the future and leaving my expensive computer in an unsafe place. I can be soooo dumb sometimes!![]()
Plastic Cracks. Aluminum Dents. Every material has it's weakness.

No, he's right. While it is the hardest substance (i.e., resistant to scratching), diamond is also a brittle substance and easily (relatively) cleaved.

yes you are very weird ! my daughter has one and it is the biggest POS i have seen. Plus the reason the notebooks are so tough is they have to absorb many throws of frustration.
I also expect Mac is looking at carbon fiber body and we could see the first one with the new 17" MBP in Jan.

I purchased my macbook less than a week ago and I wish I had been warned about how easy it is to dent the unibody. I stupidly left it by the bed and the cat dropped a glass on it. It is my fault, but now I have 2 large dents on the top. Fortunately, the damage is only cosmetic. If you are purchasing a new macbook, I highly recommend getting one of those plastic hard-shell cases as well. A macbook is a beautiful object! Best wishes on keeping it that way! (It hurts to even look at my poor computer!)
well, the new aluminum macbooks are alot more structurally sound. Of course they will still dent, thats what aluminum does.thinkspads aren't POS, they are fantastic, apple focuses on appearance, environment, then strength, ask anyone who has an aluminum apple laptop how strong they are...its kinda a joke in my opinion, they could spend a little more time on the overall strength of the computer, i don't even need to get started on the poor construction of my MBP, honestly for $2k I expect something behind the initial glass case appearance.
