If you really think about it depends on your environment, how you screens look. Sure all stores have expensive halogens or some other type of play with lights around showcase electronics. It's all about setting the mood and presentation of the goods. Yeah, just think about it, your screen may look different at home or in your office. Off the topic 'Then again you can always change the lights in your room or office.'

Yeah ... like they are going to like it that I start changing the lights at school . Honestly, if you've just spend 1250 euros on a laptop then you expect it to descently work without you rebuilding and reshaping your office.

Well, my laptop is used in a school environment, now to university, I hope there will be less cleaning. However, in a school setting, you get the one or two odd idiots who loves to poke your laptop screen. Also, I've notice that if I don't clean my screen after 2 weeks, it's either very dusty or the keyboard leaves marks on the screen when the lid closes.

It's a good point that if you touch a screen there will be fingerprints. Sure sometimes, as mentioned with kids being immature, it is sometimes not avoidable. I can see assuming screen contact will be limited but at the same time they should be developing materials to limit dirt buildup on screens. Touchscreen tech is hitting its stride and we'll need lots of screens that are allowed to be fondled

Actually, I was playing with HP's new Touchsmart PCs and I was surprised that even though the screen is a touchscreen screen, it's very hard to leave fingerprint marks everywhere. I was actually quite happy. That, or the fact the store added a coating I didn't realize xD.

Mine is use in a school environment too, but my classmates already know they should be touching my laptop screen . I'm always surprised that keyboards do leave marks on a screen, for me it's a sign that a laptop isn't well designed ... eventualy the coating of the screen might wear out or get damaged

Your laptop bag/backpack may be to cramped with stuff. If not, the rubber grommits (rubber pieces that typically cover the screws on a laptop screen and keyboard for clearance may be giving away. Replace them if you can or add something to add to their height. My laptop has scratches on the screen from keyboard & marks on the palmrest from the screen bezel (screen cover). I wish I had some rubber cement.

oh, for me, it's just dirt, I just use a towel to clean it right off. However, it's annoying that I have to clean it every once in a while. Also, the funny thing is that back then I didn't have one of those laptop backpacks, so I stored it in a separate laptop bag, so there's no books that would've applied pressure on to the bag. Also, I left the laptop bag on the uppermost section so that nothing is able to place pressure on the LCD screen.

I took strategic methods to protect my laptop xD. (Even though it did get damage by a small bump while walking and it did cause cracks, which I had to get it repaired ... *sigh*)
