Macbook Cleaning

Anything not white, is just not a macbook. I realized my macbook kept getting dirty, this yellowish spot that just never went away. It was across the scroll pad, and on the left side where i rest my hand while browsing. I tried cleaning it with a dry cloth to no avail. Luckily for me i actually read the manual so i knew i shouldn't use water on it with the battery still inside. Removing the battery, and getting it cleaned was just the beginning.

As time went buy, i noticed the stains recurring in the exact same locations. So i started to get more careful while using my macbook. I would clean my hands every time before sitting to work(or play) on it. This did wonders, for a bit. Then again i noticed the exact same stains.



My conclusion, using the macbook for long hours will lead to stains caused by sweat(or moisture). These stains take a hell of a lot to get rid of, so i did some research to see if Apple was aware of this problem and had some solution for it.

Sure they did! Another product in the market for the exact same problem. I was flattered by Apple's concern making the product available at their stores, till i realized it just adds to their sales. First you buy a cool white macbook, then you dirty it and pay us more money to clean it. Unfortunately for them i decided against purchasing this cleaner.

It all boils down to where does one draw the line. Some people would have bought this cleaner, then there would be some of them who would buy a screen cleaner. Some would buy Hot-Spots for their keypad and extra cooling fans for their macbook base. Its all a big cycle. Make an awesome machine so fragile, that you have to either pray your fine, or pay to reduce your chances of damaging your macbook.

But my macbook still needed protection, so i decided to make it a co(ndom)vering. Seriously though, i did come up with a "protective layer". The white fabric keeps the macbook style intact, this covering was my little baby.

What this covering basically did was keep the sweat from dirtying the sides of my macbook where i rested my palm. It has a opening that lets me use the scroll-pad without any hassles.

Now that i got this problem sorted out, im a happy macbook user once again.

So remember, you can either do it yourself and feel satisfied, or buy it and feel relieved. The choice is yours..

Happy Macbooking :)
