I stopped by the Apple Store today to see what could be done about my MacBook Pro finish and I also bought one of the new Apple Wireless Keyboards. I’m going to pick up a 30″ Cinema Display sometime in the next few weeks and run that off of my MacBook Pro, so I needed a nice external keyboard. I already have a Wireless Mighty Mouse which has been great…
MacBook Pro Finish Update: I was told that the finish pitting on my MBP is purely cosmetic, and therefore AppleCare will not cover it under warranty. In my opinion, a $2,500 notebook shouldn’t be shedding it’s finish after only 1 year of service and I’m going to press the issue with AppleCare phone support. I’ll post an update when I have one.

Santa dropped off a new wireless Mac Mighty Mouse today and so far, I really like it. The Mac Mighty Mouse is bluetooth so there’s no need to plug in to the USB port. Also, set up was a piece of cake.
I’ve heard that people have been having problems with right click and the scroll ball but so far, everything is working perfect.

My new MacBook Pro bag just arrived… it’s the Brenthaven Pro 15.4-17.
The bag is very well built and looks like it will be extremely durable. There is plenty of padding and the computer should be very well protected in this bag.
Also, there’s ample storage space for stuff like an external mouse, files, media, power cable, USB cables, etc.
I ordered the case through Amazon who has a great price on it, over $70 off retail.

After looking around for several days at bags for my MacBook Pro, I finally decided on the Brenthaven Pro 15.4-17 bag.
Amazon has a great price on the Brenthaven Pro 17 ($105, over $70 off list) and it’s got some great reviews. Here’s a quick description of some of the features this bag has:
- Custom fit for MacBook Pro, Powerbook, and other thin notebooks 15-17″.
- Brenthaven patent-pending CORE Protection System protects all 4 corners and 2 side panels.
- Rugged Ballistic Nylon that will keep your laptop bag looking good for years to come.
- Back compartment provides a file organizer and multi-media storage section.
- The legendary Brenthaven lifetime guarantee!
The bag is supposed to ship out today or tomorrow so I should have it by the weekend hopefully. Will post my thoughts on it when it arrives.
