That’s a very good question as there is a rather healthy market for used Apple products. Thus keeping your MacBook Pro looking good is important to ensure you maximize the value of your investment. Here’s what I do:
- I clean my MacBook Pro with a micro-fibre cloth and a product called iKlear Apple Polish. It’s available at the Apple Store and you can get it with the micro-fibre cloths included. It works quite well. It’s a safe and effective way of keeping your Mac clean. In terms of frequency, I clean my MacBook Pro once a month.
- I have a matte screen protector on my MacBook Pro. It’s partially because there was no matte screen option when I bought my MacBook, but it also takes the hits so my screen doesn’t have to. I don’t have a specific recommendation in terms of screen protector. So I’ll point you towards GearZap.com so you can see what your options are.
- I use a case, two actually, to protect it from bumps and bruises. One is an sleeve which goes into a well padded case. In terms of a sleeve, I recently reviewed the ZeroShock IV Advanced Laptop Case which provides a fair amount of protection. That would be a good choice. From there you need a case, I’ll point you towards GearZap.com as they have a large selection of cases which allow you to choose what works for you. But if you want to know what I use, I’ve relied on the Tucano Figura Medium Case for years. It provides a good amount of protection as well as easily accessible pockets for things like airline tickets and other documents. Not to mention the ability to hold my MacBook related items. Plus I can slide the case through the handle of my carry on bag so that I have nothing on my shoulder. It’s also easy to pull out the notebook at TSA checkpoints. Given how much I travel, that’s important to me.
All three of these things help to keep my MacBook pro looking like new. They should help you to do the same as well.
