    Fingerprint on our new computers is annoying. I read someone suggested using Turtle wax. Has anyone tried this? Is there any other solution?

    I hope you don't mean using Turtle Wax on the screen.

    The proper LCD screen cleaning solutions are best, applied gently with a clean microfibre cloth and then buffed with a 100% clean soft duster.

    Never use anything like car polish, it contains silicones and is aggresive. It wil also discolour some plastics. For cleaning cases etc use very sparingly a good foam cleaner (always test first) applied directly to a cloth.

    No, I'm talking about the outside of the case. I don't touch the screen, so fingerprints there have not been a problem on the screen.
