Screen Marks

Does anyone else find that your MacBook Air screen picking up finger prints real easy? But also finding that they ain't the easiest to clean? :confused

Why would you be touching the screen?

Dam marks!

This is a good point. Well the odd time it does get touched but more importantly it's very difficult to get rid of the marks by just using, say my sleeve :-(

Yeah - I'm not sure why, but you are right - it can be difficult to remove smudges, especially oily ones. I find if you use a tiny bit of alcohol on a soft cloth or a small amount of glass cleaner, it cleans very easily.

I might be wrong, but I would NEVER use alcohol based cleaners on the MB Air screen!! Just use plain water and a micro fiber cloth. Thats more that enough to keep the screen looking spiffy

Never use alcohol. It will destroy the screen. You should use warm water on a soft cloth, or you can also use eyeglass cleaner that you get from an optical store.

But best of all, don't touch the screen. 😉
