    I'm sure many of us here probably have the same question. I've been really conscious of the condition of my M11X, and lately, I've been getting some smudges on the front of my R2. Does anyone have an effective method of cleaning the front of the laptop?

    microfibre cloth?

    edit: something like the inside of the black bag that came with it, just use that to rub of the fingerprints. Works for me :)

    A good microfiber cloth dampened with warm water is all I've used in the past 2 months. Cleans it like new.

    Another vote for microfiber.. I get generic ones from the local supermarket and use them on all my laptops/phones.

    Oh and wash your hands first so you don't just put fresh "oils" back on the device.

    i was at office max and found a little microfiber lens cleaner , its basically a microfiber rag attached to a bell shaped fabric holder. when ur done using it you stuff the microfiber back into the bell. It also has a clip so it clips to your laptop bag :)

    good thing about the matte is that it does not scratch up!
