I think that's how mine finally died. My sister has had it for the past year or so, but I can ask, just to be sure. Quote: Originally Posted by masugu my Pismo won't start up…

I think that all these cases that are being listed here on the board are rare instances.

My Lombard is still alive running Panther, but I have been using it less and less (once every few days). I've been thinking of selling it for years, but I just can't part with it.…

Checked with my sister... it doesn't turn on at all. Could be related to the power supply/battery, but hard to say. $2349 (student price) x 6% sales tax / 6 years = $414.99 per y…

Ya seriously, my TiBook's paint scratched of on the front side, where my wrists made contact, on towards the back where my fingernail would scratch off a little paint every time I …

mine is starting to flake off as well... it's happening on the corners, where it's most easily scratched etc. the paint is very easy to flake off.

Pics?

Most black PC's are just black plastic. Apple seems to use some sort of paint.

I was just at the apple store and tried pretty hard to get any type of scratch on it, and I got nothing. I probably tried 7 or 8 times in different places and nothing at all happen…

I don't understand, why not just use black plastic?

I think they did.

I can't see crap in that photo.

So, it's been more than 24h since that photo and the alleged 'problem' popped up. Since I haven't seen any evidence that this has been reproduced (no new photos, etc.), I'm going t…

Hi everyone - flame me if this point is too obvious - but maybe this is a case of peeling instead of flaking. Just like you can only peel a price sticker off from the edge, have yo…

Hmm..make me think about getting a white, still wish the black was glossy, at least some scratches can be buffed out, but I baby my laptops so I'm sure others would complain.

I find this whole thing kind of hard to believe. I mean, not that its a huge hoax or anything, but this entire thread cna only produce one photo and one, maybe two other occasions …

I think this claim is just an isolated incident. I got my Blackbook yesterday and the finish seems quite durable. Chill out people, there are always going to be a few lemons out th…

The focus of this list is cases that are tailored to fit the Macbook. For everything else there's the "monster thread" (henceforth MT) in the Pro forum. As it turns out, MacBook d…
