I'm a new mac user (windows switcher) and I love a lot of things about my new computer but there's one thing that's driving me crazy: The hollow part in the bottom case, just south of the touchpad, apparently dented there to ease lifting up the top lid cover, has very pointed corners...
As a result, when I put my right hand's palm there to use the touchpad, it tickles me, it annoys me, isssssssssshhhhh, I can feel it all the time while it piques the palm of my hand, grrrrrrr. I'm almost in despair, what should I do?
I dont understans why apple did it that way... bad design decision I think... but now need to find a solution.
A possible solution I considered is smoothing the point with a file, BUT what I wonder is will I end up with a small hole under that area or is there sufficient solid aluminium that I can file it a bit without opening a breach?
- Another possible solution would be to find something in rubber or plastic that could fit there, but without gluing the computer... Cushiony duct tape would do it but it would be inelegant and disgusting. Plus, that option will prevent my mac from closing completely.
Do other users have the same problem and found some creative solutions?
