Survey me about the damn screen. Make it less prone to scratching.
- chrisseaton 10y agoHow does anything ever come into contact with a laptop screen to scratch it?
- mschuster91 10y agoWell, animals with paws can scratch the screen. Cats and a bird video ("videos for cats" on youtube) are a particular vector on how to get your screen scratched...
- djrogers 10y agoIf you've got a problem with cat claws scratching glass, maybe you should return Battle Cat to He-Man. Normal earth cat claws are nowhere near hard enough to scratch glass...
- mschuster91 10y agoIt's the dirt under the cat's paws. Free-range kittys are very bad in this regard...
- wobbleblob 10y agoGlass? This is not the iPhone we're talking about, it's the Macbook Pro. The top layer of the screen is the polarizing filter, it's plastic and really not very scratch resistant.
- djrogers 10y agoThat doesn't appear to be the case - it's just very thin glass. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5998/macbook-pro-retina-display-analysis http://www.anandtech.com/show/5998/macbook-pro-retina-displa... https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+Retina+Display+Teardown/9493 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+Retina+Display+T...
- grapehut 10y agoI think mine got scratched with some sand on the keyboard and closing the lid
- wobbleblob 10y agoYup mine too, one grain of sand is all it seems to take. You could follow the path the single grain must have taken during a single commute. When the macbook is charging, a bit of static charge seems to build up on the screen, which can attract and hold small particles. Why did I get downvoted for this by the way?
- wobbleblob 10y agoThe gap between the surface of the screen and the bottom of the laptop is so tiny that when you close the lid, any dust particle, even so small you can barely see them, gets squashed against the screen. When you leave the laptop charging for a while, static seems to build up on the screen, and it attracts dust particles. You can tell this is not an incidental thing if you examine the surface of a 2 year old screen. Even if you don't have visible scratches, you can see the contours of the trackpad on the screen, where the gap is a fraction of an inch wider, and the screen stays more pristine.
- djrogers 10y ago> You can tell this is not an incidental thing if you examine the surface of a 2 year old screen I'm looking at a 6 year old screen, a 3 year old screen, and a year old screen right now - no scratches on any of them, and I don't do anything special to aka scare of them.
- calgoo 10y agoWell meaning cleaning ladies in the office? I lost big parts of the anti glare this way.
