    I noticed that i have small marks on my screen which match the layout of the middle of the keyboard keys.

    It is impossible to see these marks when the laptop is turned on.

    However when off and with the screen open, tilt the laptop away from you so you can just about see the underneath of the laptop.

    At this sort of angle i can see little imprints on the screen. Luckily they dont appear to be scratches, just stubborn marks that eventually rub off.


    Anyone else found this? Over time i dont want the abrasion to wear down the screen.


    Thanks,

    That seems like a bit of a design flaw =s

    +1 for the felt mat-thingummy.

    Are you pressing excessively on the lid of the laptop (maybe from putting it in an overstuffed laptop bag/backpack)? That might cause the screen to bend inwards a bit, rubbing against the keyboard.

    I see the marks on my screen as well. It probably is a design flaw. I just wipe it down after some time when it bothers me too much. My old Acer had the same problem but it was always wipe-off-able.
