Default Re: Anger over DRM-free iTunes tracks

If you do not like the looks of Apple's notebooks, I don't know which company's you will like. Even the staunchest haters of Apple products would agree that they look good enough to eat and that OS X rocks.

Yeah, I was talking about the palm rest. My brother has a year old Compaq notebook and the colour has faded on the trackpad and palm rest area. The speaker grilles have also become rusted. Within one year, it has become complete crap. You cannot burn DVDs on it and it refuses to connect to the Internet. Only Microsoft Word works and that is the only reason he has resisted formatting it so far. He is now buying a Lenovo notebook.

MacBook Pros are made of industry standard anodised aluminium. You can pour water on it, use it when you are sweating like a loose tap or expose it to extreme heat - nothing will happen to it. I hope you know the properties of anodised aluminium.
As for the MacBook, I have heard complaints about it being prone to scratches but I've yet to see anyone complaining about colour fading. The plastic material is prone to scratches though so you might consider getting a cover that costs Rs. 300. That gives your notebook all the protection from scratches that it needs. The employee at the Apple Premium Reseller here actually showed me how effective that cover is by trying to scratch the notebook with a key while that cover was on. The cover got scratched but nothing happened to the notebook.
