    So here is a picture of my NEW black macbook, when i bought it from a friend for dirt cheap, he raped it, only 512mb of ram 80gb hdd and the top case was full of cracks, still on tiger, fortunately the battery was brand new and the screen wasnt scratched! so i updated ram to 2gb, hard drive to 250gb and i got snow leopard, ran all updates on it and replaced the top case from apple, which was FREEEEE :p

    ive switched to mac for all my production on websites and graphics design and video :D i love the new interface. im not a windows hater though i just love both

    i need help now on a hard case to protect the outside AND and cover INSIDE to protect the keyboard and the palm rest

    ive heard bad things about SPECK hard cases, my model is a 2006 one so please any and all help is appreciated, would like to buy online from amazon or somewhere reputable :D thanks

    So what you got against PC!!

    Just kidding. Congrats on your new lappy. Be sure an keep us linked to any new production, photo, designs etc. you can reveal. There's nothing like seeing those real world uses to promote the merits of a product.

    Optimum protection? Put it in a vault and place an armed guard in front of it.

    You could use a sleeve to avoid scratches - but else, I'd say a laptop should be built well enough for daily use - it its not then its junk.

    (Yes, my Vaio gets lugged to university and the casing is still intact :) it did scratch a bit on the lid though after I stopped using a sleeve)
