Finally made the switch. How do you maintain the appearance of you white MacBook?

First, I'd like to just say: FIRST POST!

Next, I wanted to say that I just recently switched from Vista to Leopard and it's amazing, I can't believe I ever owned a Windows OS.

Anyways, I was wondering even thought there are probably hundreds of topics like this... how do you maintain the appearance of your white MacBook?

Probably every other day I take a monitor wipe on my desk and wipe where my hands lay and the trackpad and clicker.

buy a black one?

I decided to just upgrade the HD myself. I'm not a big fan of the black one.

I just bought a bluetooth mouse. Kinda nice.

Search for one of the hundreds of other threads. The computer won't get that dirty, otherwise just use a damp paper towel and some elbow grease.

Just clean with a damp cloth or use the cloth you get with it.

Well you don't basically, they seem to age very fast

 

[heatmiser]

I don't. I just use it.

The "Eraser" a cleaning sponge (by Mr Clean or an off-brand) that has a semi-abrasive additive but feels soft to the touch is great for cleaning the greasy palm-marks off the palm-rests.

You'll be surprised just how clean the rest of the machine stays.

Keep it in a sleeve case and make sure you wash your hands after gardening ..

 

[thespazz]

I don't. There is so much hair, dirt and grease in this thing that I gave up trying to keep it clean.

Still runs like a champ.
