Tech> MacBook flaking... literally
Humm. A piece just came off my MacBook. When the black version came out, there were some rumours about paint peeling off and the like, but nothing alarming. I've only had the laptop for about 4-5 months now, but it's been used in all kinds of conditions.
The 4cm long piece came off where my right wrist rests and slides between the keyboard, trackpad and the the arrow keys. There's still a little crack there, so more might come off. I'd like to tape it, but maybe the extra ventilation will mean that the bloody thing will be a bit QUIETER (and I only have white gaffer tape on me...).
I'm on my way to Indonesia. Bye, Hong Kong. I think I'll put my Apple Care to good use when I get to Australia.

Did have exactly the same thing happen to my black MacBook, even though I haven't had to fight against lions and reptiles with my laptop. I mean EXACTLY the same thing -about 4cm under my right wrist. Go figure.
same thing has just happened to my white macbook. just shows that it's not just the black ones. i've heard you can buy a replacement top part of the macbook, with keyboard, trackpad, etc for around £100. not sure if it's true or where to get them but i'm guessing that would replace the peeled bit.
I have the exact same problem with my white macbook. And today I discovered that a bit of the left corner was peeling off too. But I got some glue and fixed it.
