    Its only been a month and my laptop already has a ton of scratches on the glossy trim around the keyboard :mad: . For the amount of money I paid for it, I plan on keeping this nice and clean for as long as possible. So I dumped the scratched-prone black trim and painted it silver to match the outer rim of the laptop. Let me know what you guys think.




    Oh yeah, with a coat of gloss to make it shine a little bit :p

    looks nice. :)

    you can just get something like a custom invisibleSHIELD for your entire casing if you want to avoid all scratches... with a lifetime warranty. ;)

    LOL. Actually I have the invisible shield for my iPhone and iPod but not going to do it for this laptop. The beauty of the brushed aluminum is meant to be shown. ;)

    Thanks every one. It came out a lot better than I thought. As a matter of fact, it came out near perfect and I coudn't be happier.

    My girl friend also uses the laptop and she wears big o bracelets that just kills it every time she type :( . The glossy trim I thought was also very scratch proned. Wiping it down a few times and you will start to see small scratches that will just build up over time.
