Nano-texture is worth the upgrade if you are on a macbookpro whatever M<cpu> and dont have it.

For those of us with astigmatism it's really night and day experience.

I was considering it but got cold feet when I've been told that you could damage it when cleaning it. When I open/close my laptop I leave a ton of finger prints. I'm not too good with delicate hardware stuff.

I clean mine routinely and it's fine for me. I did recently start keeping a thin cleaning cloth on my keyboard for when I close it though. Oil from my fingers on the keyboard was getting on the screen.

What cleaning agent do you use? A dry cloth will not remove finger grease.

isopropyl alcohol, 70%, as a first pass, soapy water after that. I might skip the isopropyl if things aren't too bad. This is per apple's own recommendations.

Why are you touching the screen when you open/close your laptop??? Do you close your car doors with the window?

My screen gets fingerprints from the keyboard, maybe that's what he meant.

Car door windows often have a significant frame of several cm and it's still quite easy to have your fingertips touch the glass while closing it.

On a laptop I would imagine it's actually more likely that fingertips would touch the screen while opening it.


My car has frameless windows and closing the door with them is not recommended.

Oh really, it's universally better?

Oh. So it's better for someone else with a specific eye condition, who is practically guaranteed to never use a MacBook that I buy?


lmao you're coming in pretty hot, stephen. it is actually possible that from time to time you may encounter comments written on the internet that do not perfectly reference every aspect of your lived experience

It's also possible to make a comment on the internet that clearly identifies the context of what you're saying, rather than implying something is a universal truth.

the comment is 30 words long and refers to an eye condition that 1/3 of all people on earth have. will two other people ever look at your laptop lol

Oh the audacity of not catering to my specific persona
