Hi,
Just got my new 1710 2 weeks ago, and am in love with it! Sweet playing oblivion with all high settings.
My only dissapointment is how soft the material the black cover on the lid is made from. I had to use an old bag the first few days, and the power brick wore 3 small grove into it, even though seperated. Heck, it even retains a signature from when my wife signed a check on the closed lid. (thank goodness she writes softly). A few other small scratches here and there. Is this normal for the XPS line? My 2 1/2 year old Latitude D600 still looks almost new, with minimal scratches. I use notebooks as *mobile* computers, so a bit worried this thing is going to look like it's been through a war after awhile.
Are the covers replacable, and is there anyway to protect them better? I have bought a better bag, with more padding, but any other suggestions? Or are the scratches/gouges a *badge of honor*!
Thanks

After looking closely at the dell logo, it is obvious it does have a plastic coating. Now a sillier question....this is on tight....how do others remove it?
