[QUOTE="nictan, post: 873413, member: 105792"] regarding the damages to the exterior aesthetics, i think its pretty irrelevant. you're bound to get scratches on your laptop or your lcd IRREGARDLESS IF ITS A MACBOOK OR ACER OR DELL OR WHATNOT, if you are not careful. doesnt justify 'is the macbook worth it'. my dad's laptop is matt-finish, not very prone to scratches and bleh, but it looks like crap. in that case, is buying a car worth it? will it look like bleh if i get into an accident or i crash it into a tree and it gets scratches all over it? in any case, get a hard cover protector or a sleeve to put it in, should minimise the damage, IF ANY. and battery life, it used to be a major minus point for macs, but having just switched over to a MBP after 21 years on PC, it has not disappointed me yet. My gf's acer battery doesnt perform any better, or rather its worse in fact. its been reduced to probably 30mins now, its just over 2 years old. im pretty sure 2 years ago, it'll probably be only 3-4 hrs. my main point is, it really doesnt differ that much. whats important is the OS, how everything works, does it suit your use and taste. it did, for me.
