Macbook Design Flaws?
Greeting, I am unclear if this is the correct place to ask my question.
I purchased my Macbook in September of 2007. I was born and raised on Macs so I am familiar with the products.
1) They keys are leaving severe imprints on the screen. I have researched that they now sell products to prevent this - but I was not *warned of this at the purchace time. I presume that this is a design flaw as a $1400+ computer should not damage the screen - I guess that there not there is not enough space between the top and bottom. I do not slam cover when I close nor do I carry it around in a backpack full of book squishing the computer. Please advise.
2) The outside of the white cover (of which I purchaced and used religiously the $60 plastic protective piece) is changing colour and there are 'scratch' like marking all over the top and bottom.
3) The bottom of the keypad keep chipping off, I have had to replace this twice and am looking at a third time. Fortunetly Mac acknowledeges this defect and cover the service fee.
I have genuinly enjoyed all the macs I have had over the years, but am downright frustreated with this Laptop!

P.S. Spell check is not working so please excuse any above error. My generation seem to depend on spell check

...1) They keys are leaving severe imprints on the screen...
I had this, Apple didn't care, I'd already paid them afterall
...2) The outside of the white cover... ...there are 'scratch' like marking all over the top and bottom...
Yup. that too; but I hadn't bought any extra protection, and as it's only a beauty issue I wasn't that bothered.
...3) The bottom of the keypad keep chipping off, I have had to replace this twice and am looking at a third time. Fortunetly Mac acknowledeges this defect and cover the service fee...
I had 3replaced by Apple, then once out of warranty suddenly it was no longer a recognized design flaw or issue.
Mine was a 2006 model, you fan should be due to fail shortly.

That is why I didn't get the white Macbook. The plastic used is the same as the iPhone 3G/3GS and suffers similar problems. ( Although mine dosen't suffer from cracks/discolorisation, etc.. )
