That is in the store where 500 gorillas have abused it to no end, naturally it will look bad.Here’s a SG at the store today. Literal chips of finishing missing lol
Silver and it’s not up for debate. Space gray will show scratches. Go to your local Best Buy and just look at the floor models. They only put up space gray models and you can see the damage.Hey. Hope you’re all well. I’m trying to decide between the Silver or Space Grey MacBook Pro 14” and I’m wondering what your opinions would be? I’ve read that the Silver shows less marks than the Space Grey? Thanks
Hundreds of visitors handle devices in store. Many of those people don't give a damn how they handle machines. They wear sharp rings and bracelets and leave scuffs wherever they go.Here’s a SG at the store today. Literal chips of finishing missing lol
Total opposite to my experience. SG shows up scratches as the casing is bright silver underneath the SG coating. And palm prints show up way more on SG.In my experience, scratches show up equally well on both. But if you're not an obsessive hand washer like I am, palm prints will show up more on the silver.

It is up for debate. If your Best Buy only puts out the SG models how do you know the silver versions won't show the same damage. Answer: They would.
That's not how anodizing works. The main problem (to my eyes) in the picture someone posted above is the difference in color between the anodized layer and the metal underneath. The silver is objectively closer in color because it's the same metal, so scratches still show due to the change in texture and reflection but are less noticeable than adding a different color into that mix as well.
Chips and scratches show on the silver models too. I owned them for years and know. Thanks!!
