I have a new 13" MBP. I generally use it either on my lap of the arm of the couch... my wrists like to press on the corners or sides of the machine... anyone else notice how incredibly sharp the edges are :(

it makes it so sleek it hurts, literally.

short of keeping my wrists off of it, any suggestions? any products out that address this???

Way... way too many specs to list.
something like the rain iLap would give your wrists something cushy to rest against.. keep the machine cooler too.. as well as your lap

the rain looks nice, but it only takes care of the front area. i have nice wide shoulders and my arms tend to rest on the sides of the machine at an angle :p

If you type correctly then your wrists should not be resting on the laptop. You could always try and correct your typing posture. Free solution too. :)

You can put "duct tape" on the sides as well!;)

It will soften with time as your wrists slowly erode the aluminum... kind of. Not really.

Hum might be simpler to just duct tape your wrist? :p

Very true! I got hairy arms...so removing the duct tape is usually not much fun! OUCH!!!;)
