    apparently it's not a real problem. And from what I've read it's part of the design (just what i read i have no idea practically why)

    mine has just a hair tad of that too.

    it doesnt bother me though, i don't feel like its going to damage it, even over a long period of time.

    I think that guy has some serious problems. It really is not that big of a deal, most all MBP have a slight bend on the edges, but it has never bothered me. And there is no way that guy payed $4100 for his MBP, and if he did he is a moron.

    i think that it is an extra space so keyboard will not scratch th screen , u can ask owners of powerbooks too . And if it was flat all around people would be bi∂≈ΩΩn about screen being scratched so , i remember when i had my gateway the keyboard was all wobling it was a nightmare, and yes that was a 2000 bux laptop too so.

    Mine dose this too. At first I was bothered by it, but what I did was go to several shops in my location that sells the MBP and everyone of the display models dose the same thing...so its a minor flaw in my opinion, but one that I can live with. I did find a site with a product that improves this. Radtech sells little screen cushions to address this. I just got mine in the mail today and am happy with them. It takes care of any wobble when the lid is closed and feels better to me, but it is not a must, I am just picky. I would not think twice about buying another MBP. It is the best notebook that I have ever bought and I have bought a few "high end" notebooks I.E. Dell M1710 and M1210. I had no problems with my MBP.....I have had a few minor problems with both of my other notebooks.:smile:
