It sounds like Apple needs to rethink the TiBook's paint job if nothing else. I have a white iBook and it's very sturdy, although compared to my old toilet-seat iBook it's pretty …

Good God! That's horrible and totally abnormal. I hope you will/did send it in to Apple for repair or replacement!

I can't believe how bad that computer looks. I'd be freaking out. I am so glad that my 667 is still 100% perfect after taking it to work ever single day since I got it 6 months…

I have a TiBook that I treat very well- not like it's made of glass or anything, but I'm careful. Never tossed it. I am surprised at the wear on the lighter silver paint (the hinge…

Wow. You people tossing laptops around... you're tempting fate big time. Eventually after internal components weaken from the added stress of being jostled around like that -if you…

OW!!! Those pictures are horrible! I myself have seemed to end up on this side of the line with my powermac, and it's pretty depressing, but OUCH!

I have a Ti since the were introduced. I'm on the road around 70% of the year and don't take particular care of it. It has some paint bruses on the top of the lid and some corners …

Anyone else having issues? http://ems.music.uiuc.edu/p/photo.ph...tive_Powerbook

It looks like it's rusting!

I have a year old Ti 400 that I bring to my work place every day (I bike). I also have travelled around Europe three times. Still, not a single scratch. Do not blame the computer, …

It's definitely not his fault. Scratches are usually lines. His is chipping. Dropping the machine would only dent it. The paint is most definitely defective.

All i hope is when i buy the new revision as soon as it is released, what ever it is, that they have addressed this problem and have some how made the laptop stronger and more scra…

A friends Tibook 550 fell from 1.5 meters and it spat out one of those "card" cds that was stuck into it. No damages. No worn paint, he treats it rather brutally.

OK, I know I did a Bad Thing, but I'm curious if anyone knows how bad. I plugged my ancient Duo 210 into the dock while both were powered on. I know, I know, it's wrong, but I forg…

Wow, reading this reminds me of a few years ago when all of a sudden the power supply in my dock died right after coming home from the road. I think the Duo 210 was on and when I …

Are you talking about a minidock or a desktop dock? The only way you should be able to connect to a desktop dock while the Duo is "powered on" is while it's asleep, in which case t…

Yeah, get a 280c to replace it. The Dock may still be OK. Try resetting the power manager and PRAM first, though. You may not have hurt anything.
