So I bought my first mac the other month, a 13 inch pro. I'm enjoying it a lot and really happy with my purchase. Lately I've been seeing a ton of people with those colorful hardshell cases. Are they really necessary? I feel like the added weight and thickness would be annoying and that a laptop made of metal would be more scratch resistant than a regular old plastic one. Am I wrong or missing something here? Why does everyone seem to have these but me?

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Mine stays in my laptop bag if it's not being used and I'm generally pretty careful with stuff like that. Guess I'll reinvest the money I nearly spent into a new laptop bag.

So I just realized my 2012 13 inch Pro(non-retina) doesn't have audio in. Doesn't look like the retiana models have it either. What's the alternative here, my google fu is failing me and all I found was some people linking to a sketchy website from the 90's selling $300 pieces of hardware.... There must be an audio in to firewire converter or something that doesn't lose too much quality right?

HolySwissCheese posted:Go in audio settings and see if you can configure it to be audio in. My understanding is that there is one jack that can be line-in or headphone-out, but not both at once. This is no longer the case with the 2012 line. They switched it from a dual input/output to just an output for some reason and didn't bother changing the specs on the site until very recently. New retina's don't have an in either which is just insane. Thanks for trying to help though! To the recommendations above, thanks much. Both look great. I do a lot of screen recordings/screen sharing stuff for my clients, I've been using my windows desktop because I had a camtasia license but now that I've realized that quicktime can do a screen recording(Mac camtasia was horrible) I decided to start doing them on my mac. Only to find out my mic wouldn't plug in. Basically doesn't need to be audiophile quality in, just decent enough that my clients can hear me talk without wondering if I'm doing it from a car under an overpass...
