macBook chipping?

**twirp** · March 27th, 2008, 11:37 AM

So I've heard of the problem before, but my macBook isn't starting to chip in the same areas that most people have had theirs chip...
I'll take some pictures later on, but yeah...
It doesn't seem to really be doing anything, but I'm hoping the macBook lasts for the next 4 years...
I know that they'll fix my brother's free of charge, but I'm not sure if mine would count... Although mine isn't that bad, and no one would notice unless I point it out (and I think it'll only be visible on black macBooks.)
I guess we'll be stopping by a macBook store when we go back to Md for the summer (unless there's one in Florida near by)

Just buy a Macbook AIR with the SSD add-on.

Theres a store in south Orlando. That's the only one I know of in Florida. You're probably better off buying online through the education store though, much cheaper

Doesn't BestBuy have a section for Apple? I could've sworn I saw one in the one buy my house. Then again it could be just the one by my house. =(

Yeah, but some of the chipping issues they'll fix for free...

Chipping? I guess I wouldn't know. I don't own a Mac.

However someday I would like to get one..

Go Pro if you do... unless you're getting an iMac or miniMac
I'm probably getting a miniMac this summer or fall...

Pro is the way to go, I haven't hard mine chip yet (I'm actually not too sure where that's supposed to be until you post some photos), though I do have the paint wearing away under my left wrist.

Otherwise still in mint condition.

I was thinking miniMac for now until I get used to using a mac.

I've been a PC user since 99 and it will be hard to make any sort of switch but I don't think i would ever switch over 100%
