Here’s a cool tip for those of you looking to “ugly up” your MacBook Pro and erase 80% of the resale value in one step. Enthusiast Russell Davies purchased some blackboard type paint and coated the entire top of his MacBook Pro. He’s now created a convenient way to take notes (in chalk) without having to open the MBP. Note To Russell: They’ve already invented a better solution to your problem – and it doesn’t require carrying a MacBook Pro – it’s called pencil and paper. Biggest benefit? About 5 lbs 4oz less weight to carry. You also won’t lose the resale on the MacBook Pro and there’s none of that annoying chalk smear to deal with.
