When I bought my MacBook (actually, when I bought my iBook before it), one area of concern for me was the white color.
If you’ve ever worked tech support on computers, you know how disgustingly dirty a taupe keyboard can get. How awful must a gleaming white laptop get?
In all the time we’ve had the iBook, it’s still quite clean, and I’m very pleased with that. When I got the MacBook, I expected much the same cleanliness; however, I couldn’t help reading on the net how some people’s MacBooks got filthy brown and others didn’t. That really worried me because, when I was in drafting, no matter how clean I kept my hands, I couldn’t keep a clean drawing to save my life.
As time went by, the MacBook really didn’t get dirty. That is, until I took it to Taiwan. Once I got there, it started to get filthy, and, like so many other people on the net, it just wouldn’t clean up! What kind of weird plastic is this thing made out of?
Anyway, after trying every non-destructive cleanser I had at home (and a few I had to improvise) I was ready to give up. Instead, I broke down and bought some iKlear at the local Apple store.
I have no idea what is in it, but it cleaned up the MacBook without any problems. Kudos to iKlear.
