    What is all this i hear about the keyboards on zeptos scratching the screens?

    Does this happen on all models?

    How bad does the screen get scratched?

    I have no scratches too, but I am aware that if you carry your laptop around all day and apply pressure to the laptop lid that the keys may touch the screen and cause such a problem. I had it on my Toshiba G20 (17" monster) but it was preventable by slipping in a camera lens cloth on the keyboard top so this could not happen.

    Most laptops will scratch the screen when the lid is closed and pressure is applied onto it. This is not unique to Zepto. A camera cloth will help and the screen will not scratch. However this only softens the pressure. The screen can still get damage over time. Just be carefull and dont jam in your laptop (any laptop) with books and other heavy items. Dont pack it too close and give it space and it will be fine.

    INCSlayer - Ive got enough friends, im not looking for more on these forums.

    If you're looking to make friends then bossing people around in these forums wont help.

    Thanks to all the people who answered without a stupid ass comment.
