M2 Midnight wear and tear

[outlawarth]

I thought I'd check in with the M2 owners that have had the midnight color for some time now.

How is the durability of the laptop from a wear and tear standpoint? I am not so much concerned about the fingerprints but mostly wear around the ports. Has the color worn off in any way?

Thank you.

I thought the M2 Midnight had a wear problem.

hopefully no one replies here!

Had it for 2.5 months and still looks perfect, but I have been careful with the ports.

I have some wear around the most used USB-C port and worse on the front of the keyboard palm-rest where my watch band rubs on the case. It’s not really that bad but definitely noticeable.

I’m not particularly concerned about it. I bought the MacBook to be used. It is a great computer.

I've had it since day of release and no issues with wear and tear.

No wear at all and I plug and unplug both cables on the port multiple times a day. As with most "issues", it's largely nonsense.

Just bumping this thread to see if any midnight users had any issues. I just purchased the 15" MacBook Air in Midnight and love it, just worried about wear over time.

If you baby it, it'll be fine. From what I've seen in Apple Stores, it's friction along the edges and maybe constant rubbing against the ports that causes slight chips.

Due to the easy wear at the USB-C ports, I purchased these:

USB C Magnetic Adapter 24Pins 20Gbps, Essager Type C Connector Support PD 100W Quick Charge, USB 3.1 Gen2x2 Data Transfer 4K@60 Hz Video Output, Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air and More Type C Devices

24 Pins Magnetic USB C To C Mag-safe Adapter Support PD 100W Quick Charge And 10Gb/s Data Transfer 4K@60 Hz Video Output Compatible with Hub MacBook Pro/Air 2019 iPad Pro and Type C Devices

This way the connector constantly stays plugged in than I can freely connect and disconnect for my USB-C Display/Charger.

Works great!

Got it a couple days after launch. Yes, there's wear and tear around the USB ports. A little around the MagSafe port. But you only notice it when paying attention closely. Overall nothing major.

And that's after about a year of use, not too bad.

Wear isn't a problem if you're careful....it's just a goddamn fingerprint magnet.
