Hey guys, any new Macbook user? Just need your input here. Is the casing easily scratch like some of the review mentioned? Thinking of either Macbook or Macbook Pro now....both almost same spec...only Pro is extra RAM, Aluminum body, better screen, Firewire and SD card....My usage is only for my office use, keynote, numbers, pages and emails. The only worries me is the body of the Macbook as I travel a lot to do presentations. All my Apple stuff have casings....like my iPod Classic, iPhone and also iPad....so I will definately get a casing as well for either Macbook or Macbook Pro so just need to know how easily the Macbook body gets scratch? Thanks.

I really take care of my stuff. I mean I don't get things scratch easily. For example, my iPhone 3GS I've been using for 6 months and there's no scratch on the back at all except for a few scratches on the chrome part, my iPod classic been using for a year and no scratch at the back at all as well. I have both in casing since day 1. Just that after reading review from Engadget with the comment "it scratches like crazy. Seriously -- all we've really done with our review unit is take it out of the box, snap some photos, and move it around the office for a day, and the top looks like it's been attacked by a bear." This remark worries me. I mean I know plastic is plastic but the review makes the Macbook seems like plasticine if you know what I mean.

Grounding problem.......? you using the long cable or the one without the cable to connect to your Magsafe?

I might be wrong. This what I experience with my other laptop last time when I'm feeding out sound from my laptop phone jack to the sound system. What I did was put it to a direct box (DI Box) and turn on the GND lift and no more buzzing......did you try with the one without cable one? I'm running my MBP with it.....no buzzing sound.....
