    Does it get dirty easily? Ive seen my friend's white ibooks..and they get dirty (as in, uncleanable...sweat marks) on some keys and the part where the palm rests after a year or two of use (i plan to keep mine for 4 years..)..and the ibooks became quite unattractive

    I have sweaty hands and combine with the heat from the notebook...i'm afraid that it might get dirty and sweat stained..

    This is basically the only thing that's holding me back from getting a LG computer. Thanks!

    lol um sweat less??

    Well as long as you undervolt you'll reduce heat and therefore perspiration.
    And i think anything plasticy will get a stain, a stain on a darker surface will still be a stain!

    It scuffs kinda easy, I opened a brand new S1, and there was already a scuff on the bottom left part of the keyboard, though with a cloth, it rubs off.

    I had my S1 for over a month now, and so far no issues. I was concerned at first with the white color but the keyboard cleans easily, so personally, I think you will be ok as long as you remember to wipe the keyboard when you're done using the computer. :)

    For the record, black keyboads can "stain" too. If you look closely at my old ASUS Z70V (which I had for about a year) you could see "stain" marks on the spacebar and some other heavily used keys, especially under certain lighting. So its not just white keyboards that this can happen to :D

    i heard that the white keyboards on the LG are made of some pastic that doesnt collect dirt as much. and like as emmzee says, black keyboards can stain too. or wear out and get thoes shiny spots. just look at your spacebar and you will know what i am talking about
