    What's the model of your computer and what parts of the case are affected?

    You can try some polishing like you would do if your car had scratches. If they are too deep then you are out of luck. If they are on the main surface of the lid, then you can get a vinyl graphic to cover them up.

    i believe it's #6 on this list: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=labtop


    ..btw, i've had no success trying to remove scratches from my car and my phone. just wasted money and time on "scratch remover" products. just live with the scratch and find something better to do with your time.

    The answer depends on the material of your laptop.
