but four weeks ago we took a look at this guy in custom matte black matte book I bought it from the folks of color wear because I wanted something looks a bit different we had a lot of questions and that initial hands-on how it was going to hold up so I said I'd revisit it in a month and sort of see how things are looking so color does essentially take the entire thing apart and paint it so I had some concerns about the putting it back together the first concern I had was how the hinge was going to hold up seems to hold up pretty well my wife has the exact same active Pro non-custom the hinge feels the same when they did the paint and it's all matte black all around they also did a matte black on the trackpad I'm trying to notice some where on the trackpad it looks similar to what you get with a normal computer but being the matte painting to look especially glossy especially in the middle areas where I tend to use my finger the most there's been some light chipping around the corners nothing giant I'm expecting sort of more as I continue use a computer I've traveled with it a few times I think it gets a little more bumped and bruised I'm expecting some more chipping to happen another area of concern is on the back so obviously this whole back panel had to come off I'm gonna go ahead and do a little bit of depression up by the hinge on the back there's a lot of you and there's more give than you get on a non custom MacBook this is what a creek that goes with it as well a little bit worried that over the next year or even longer how that that's going to give me some trouble I don't think anything here would hold me back from sort of buying this again but certainly not wearing on par with a non custom computer but I still do really like the way it looks full matte black I want something custom that was sort of unique but not too flush and it definitely seems to fit the bill the last area of concern that I've got served talking to that Creek issue is on the front when it's closed up get a little bit of press by the Apple logo there's a bit of creaking noise as well the depression is normal but the creaky noise is not normal you with a normal aluminum MacBook so we'll see what happens as it continues to wear if you guys are interested I'll do updates every few months let you know how this thing is holding up if it totally falls apart after a year if it sort of holds together let me guys know what you think if you guys want to see us cover anything else wants to test anything else everything else seems to be working I've had no keyboard issues the speaker sound the same again to some paint chippings and creaking and some through wearing on the trackpad like I do it again I probably wouldn't have had them through the trackpad I would just kind of left it as is I thought it completed the look but I think as the months go by it's gonna probably end up looking worse because it's just a giant shiny area and in the middle I think Weig I just want to give you an update until next time John rende you're protecting a buffalo got the guy's next one a lot of things you could do with your new MacBook whether or not you decide to get it painted you could come up and make a cool app or the next big product and the folks at Atlassian have you covered a technology to help you assign and manage tasks they can help you share and create content you can message or video chat each other you can test and view your code they've got everything you need to collaborate with people check them out at Atlassian comm ATL a SS I am calm
