    The top of my MacBook attracts so much dust. My other laptop, an Asus w5f has never done that. Is there anything I can wipe it down with in order to deter the dust?

    Thanks!

    Ugh, can't think of it off hand, but yes there are those wipes that repel dust.
    *think brain, think* (going off 2 hours of sleep :( )

    Well, a quick google search revealed this. Hope that helps.

    I used something like that, but a different brand. As the reviewer in that link said, they do dry out easily, but they worked well for me on my old monitor. :)

    Just a quick question, do you have the white, or black macbook?
    I've read where one attracts more dirt/fingerprints than the other, so I'm curious about dust too. ;)

    I have the white macbook. I'm assuming it's the material on the cover.
