    I've a !brand-new! 2.5 months old SR MBP 2.4ghz, since day first I got problems, totally got 5 replacement because of crappy yellowish screen, and gave up after 5th replacement, apple customer service stopped replying my emails and voicemails!!! Still using a yellowish screen w/ a samsung panel.

    My display has a limited opening angle, I've even showed that to apple, I was told that it is in spec!!!

    Anyway, now I've noticed another great feature of this $3K worth baby!
    The display release button started to change its color! Something comes off from that metal part! Now it looks very ugly!!! I use my mbp at office and leaving display always open, so I barely use that button!!

    What should I do for that?


    Here are the pics of that button!

    That sucks. Have you tried calling Customer Relations at the corporate office yet?

    Yeah they do that man. But honsetlyk once the coat wears off completely it looks fine.

    I ended up removing what was left of the coat on mine, and it looks shiny silver.
