Appearance and built quality

I have not written for ages to this blog. This is not because I stopped to get new experiences, but maybe because using a Mac became some sort of routine when you lose the feeling what could excite readers of the blog. I switched to using Mac for some months, and my previous laptop, which is Dell, is just occupying a space on my desk, and I really infrequently open its lid just to log in to have my machine listed in the domain...

Well, using the machine for 8+ hours a day, I can now tell you guys how machine withstands my usage. In brief: pretty fine, but I can notice it's not brand new anymore. Touchpad became shiny in the center, buttons of the keyboard are a bit grey instead of white, and some plastic next to keyboard degraded and a small chink emerged. Other than that, chassis is still solid, details are attached to each other as on the day 1, there are no arbitrary detaching accumulator as on my estonian-made PC laptop. There are no even ugly scratches on the chassis, despite the fact I don't have a fancy bag for it and put it straight to my backpack.

What is great, is that battery life is still normal. Even with Wifi turned on, MacBook achieves 4+ hours of working time. I never take my AC adapter with me when I go home. I just don't spend enough time behind the computer screen at home so its battery life never ends as a surprise.
