Black Macbook Fingerprints

The black MacBook is fast and looks neat till you touch it.
After just a few minutes working on it it looks disgusting.
I find Windex and soft paper towels will clean it (until it's touched again). Really crappy surface. Very much unlike most of the Apple elegant equipment.
Sadly.

I had a Pismo that was black and it did show every fingerprint. It didn't show the minor scratches that comes with responsible daily laptop use. If it got a scratch though you're really out of luck. You couldn't buff it out. All in all though I think the black probably hold up better if surface scratches bother you.

Some people just want the black and it just boils down to that. They want the color. Of course if you're not into black that's fine too.

I say vote with your dollar (or British pound), buy what you want and realize there are advantages and disadvantages to both colors.

Come on Doc,you gotta have a spare pair of latex gloves around. 🙂
or you could invest in this...

How were you planning on using a portable computer without touching it?

Whether it's black, white, or anything else you will leave marks over time. It's not like you're going to sell it in time for the same price you paid. You will scratch it eventually - whether its from your bag, or accidental pen marking, or whatever. It's a portable computer - you're going to want to move it around. Just accept that. It's not a big deal. Enjoy it - use it!

You could wrap it encase it in a plastic shield - but then you lose out on truly enjoying the design. Let go...

i dont seem to have this problem, i guess i have dry hands, but the case is pretty clean.

Groff you're from AZ. EVERYTHING there is dry! 🙂

this is true! 🙂 it was 118 the other day talk about dry!!
