If anyone's considering the upgrade, I give it a 10 out of 10. cheers, -Hal It is so great to hear some GOOD news on this topic...

I've been very careful with it to not scratch or touch the screen, but one day in my bag, i think some extra pressure was applied to the closed 'book and now I have an exact indentation of my keyboard on my screen. Its fairly light and if I turn up the brightness, I can't see it and the screen itself is just fine. So, first of all, is there any means of repairing the lightened areas of the screen from where the edges of the keys touched the screen, and secondly, I've heard that placing a peice of cloth or rubber across the board before closing stops the indentations from getting worse/happening at all. Is this true, and what material is the best to do this? I'd apreciate AS MUCH information on this as possible, as I have to take it around with me quite a bit and I dont want the screen to get all banged up.
