[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1103558, member: 56379"] IMHO...DEFINITELY the plastic/polycarbonate MacBooks are more durable! Normally the worst thing that happens to the plastic Macbooks is you get little "swirly" marks on the housing...but these are actually hard to see unless the light hits it just right. Those aluminum housings are just TERRIBLE for any sort of scratch, ding, or dents! I've had my 17" Aluminum Macbook Pro in a hard shell since day one!:) I'm sure the same "abuse" that would cause an awful looking dent on an aluminum MBP probably wouldn't even be noticed on a plastic Macbook. Unfortunately (if you want to purchase a Macbook Pro in the future)...they only come in aluminum (at least currently). Who knows in a couple years. - Nick [/QUOTE]
