-==== Plastic MacBook (Black) ====

-Some banding appears from the plastic case molding process. 100% speeed 50% power on a 35W laser has worked out for us so far. (30% is much too low)
-==== Plastic Apple iBook and white MacBook  ====
-So far, these cannot be etched or marked because the case is made of polycarbonate which turns yellow and chars when laser cut or etched!
-Any additional information or hints should be put here!
