finally someone who shares the same sentiment! it even goes for the body imho. you pay partly for the form factor as well. so why cover it up!

scratches are battle scars which shows you actually use your machines x)!

Eh, I'm always against protector this protector that on Mac.
But I'm in the midst doing a anti-glare HD display upgrade for my own MBP. Might coat it to black too that might be my small 2011 project.

stalks your site for that update*

while the anti-glare feature has always appealed to me, i've never gotten it mainly because of the silver bezel. so yeah. i'm interested

Yes. That's why I'm having black bezel. Black body. Black keyboard. Red backlit? Hehehe call it Darth Vader! Still experimenting.

can DIY?

i posted somewhere that i'm personally hoping for a release of a black unibody mbp.

so if you do go on with it and succeed (which i'm sure you will), i promise you i will be your first customer for that upgrade weather you accept me or not! lol

what type of paint will you be opting for in terms of painting the shell, wei?

No paint, but coating We are way OT. I will open a topic if the project takeoff.

what are your current options in terms of coating, currently?

as i was thinking about it and there are a few downsides to say powder coating the shell. taking into account how it'd add onto the measurements and not to mention heat dissipation.

what's ot

err car tint nevermind, just spray some water behind it and apply. glossy screen protectors also can use this trick. it's the ones with adhesives are tricky... not to mention getting dust and whatever debris gettng stuck to the film :S

im using an antiglare screen protector last time dun have antiglare option, would've gotten it if it did.

OT = out of topic hehe

black unibody MBP will look great though but looking at colorware website, i think we cant change the colour of the trackpad

oh

but you wouldn't really want to risk liquid getting into your machines if you follow the steps taken when applying window tint

and they use soap water iirc.

Actually he did install for me the protector. No bubble so far. I scared like hell seeing him installing coz he have to turn upside down my MBP on the table. Then he turn and turn during installation. Lucky no scratch. I no complain bcoz "compleementry installation".

In term of reason, i protect it bcoz it cost me 5k plus. So better pay some extra for protection.

yes they use soap water, but just water works fine. haha of course dont put too much la that being said, the MBP screen is just all glass with no gaps so it shud be fine

wow if he made a scratch, ouch! protect something but something else scratch. btw maybe u shud get something like bodyguardz or what. the screen is glass and wont get scratched easily. the body is more prone

+1. my old mbp has no scratches on the lcd panel whatsoever.

but once i was flipping around my tablet pen and accidentally sent it flying onto the body of my mbp. which in turn left a tiny scratch that looks like a spec of dust

never buy your apple from MACHINES LOT10. they said if i have any problems with it, i can bring it back and they'll help me with it. when i did bring it back, they told me to call the apple helpline. if i can solve the problem with the helpline, i wouldnt have to lug the damn macbook all the way back to lot10, would i?

all machines same..1st time ur apple problem meh?

they dont have "GENIUS" on site meh

actualy they shuld help u to send it over to apple if thrs any prpblem, but nw they ask u to do it urself.............dats poor after sales service, mayb u cn try complain to the machines HQ or write to malay mail

Let's have a FB Page and "BAN" all the Machines...Shiok!!! Don't you realized, the Apple Authorised Service Centre also useless and outdated? Another Page for it...wahaha...

I bought from them,currently my computer got bit problem,after listened to you,i don think they will fix it for me!

I suggest bring your whatever apple products to VR tech near KLCC station. Walking distance around 15mins only to the shop.

I appreciated their staff profession and faster respond after send-in too.

You can see i rather walk under hot sun and reach there rather than in an air con place to Machines, KLCC.

i only go Machines checking out their accessories and play the apple products for fun.

Machines, I only went once. Their follow-up in the repair case made me lost confidence in Apple after sales service.

VR Tech is the one makes me support in Apple product once again. Hopefully VR Tech can maintain their great service forever.

p/s: Dun think create a FB page or thread to complaint bout Machines is going to work. Peoples already did the complaint things over and over again in this forum for years.
