    Is the tuxedo black very prone to fingerprint and if yes how much often do you have to clean the lid and what do you use to remove the fingerprint..

    thanks

    Yes it is very prone to fingerprints. I use the included cloth to clean it.

    I use a microfiber cloth made by LappyMat. I just rub it firmly in circular motions until the fingerprints and smudges are gone. I have been using this Lappymat microfiber for 5 months now and my m1330 is fingerprint and smudge free. The microfiber is also great for cleaning the LCD screen. I use alcholol wipes on the aluminum finish palmrest.

    I wipe the case with the included cloth every day. It only takes about 5 seconds, and a pristine lappie makes me happy.

    I had this same problem issue with the Crimson Red color. I just use a lint-free cloth and some water to clean it, but I think a microfiber cloth is an excellent idea. Anyways, I grew tired of cleaning the back of the LCD on a weekly basis, so I bought an invisible shield skin to cover it.
