Well my ibook of 4 years finally died today, you will be missed......

So I'm looking to get a new laptop as its just easier, and where I live I don't have the space for a monitor and tower.

I was reading reviews of the Mac Book Pro and read a bunch of issues with denting of the uni body.

Does anyone here have the latest MBP and if so what do you think about denting issues ?

I was thinking of getting the 15" version ?

I need to find a new laptop soon as I cant live without, so any thoughts ?

Yeah a mac is what I want, I use it for everything, but mostly the everyday use and design in Photoshop. I really don't have the money to buy photshop again for PC.

I have one, but purchased a plastic case for it. It's transparent, so you wouldn't even know it was there. and protects the finish.

Ive got the late 2009 MBP 15"

Love it, Im not sure about dents but i did end up scratching the unibody which really pissed me off.
I dont really move my laptop around much and basically just use it as a desktop.

You can always look at getting a hardshell case, something i wish i did earlier.

Yeah a hard shell case is what I was thinking would protect it from dents, but wasn't sure if it would really make a difference. From reviews across different sites it seems to fix the issue.

I found this case, but cant tell if there is any ports for the computer to stay cool :

Actually just found a review, looks like a pretty good case :

I've not had trouble with my MBP denting. My work one has a few dings, but it doesn't bother me.
I'd wait a little until whatever the next generation is. The current macbook's are more powerful than the entry level MBP's, so that makes me think there will be a big jump with the next release.

I wish I had the leisure to do so, but I use my laptop daily and can only go a good week without. So I have no choice but to grab whats currently available, and after reading I think I may just grab the 15" MBP. Its way better than what I have been using for the past few years so even with a new version on its way I'm still pretty happy.

LOL...no disrespect or anything but I love how if you're a Apple user you only have one option and then I guess it's just down to what flavor you want or what generation. Anyway...just my side comment...../runs away.
