    Hi guys,

    After reading a few things about the trackpoint being imprinted on the screen, I'm a little worried. My x61s, should be coming today, so I haven't been able to see this imprinting thing for myself. :p

    Do you guys think its worth buying a screen protector?

    Or would it be simpler to buy a keyboard cloth? Any recommendations ?

    Maybe both?? What do you guys prefer? I haven't had experience with either, so I would love to hear some opinions. ;)

    i use nushield for some of my laptops in the past. you can usually pick a glossy or matte protector for your model. they are great and greatly improve screen appearance too.

    I've always used a piece of closed cell packing foam to protect my screens(the stuff taped over your LCD monitors when you uncreate your desktop monitor). Just cut to cover the keyboard, and slip over the keyboard before you close the laptop. Never had a mark on my laptop screen going back to a Inspiron 8100, Inspiron 9100 and now my T61p.
