My one-year old 12" G4 PB doesn't look that great. I have little "dents": one next to my trackpad and one on the outside of the top cover. And somehow I have a splotch in the center of my screen. It looks like a greasy fingerprint, but I can't seem to clean it off. I have small children who tend to want to touch my screen, so... But, yes, the PB is a higher end computer and it hold up better, especially the hinge.
