Hi all,

I've recently bought a MacBook Air and I'm so far very happy with it. Yet today I spotted one thing - there're quite a number of white dots on the keyboard. All dots appear at the top edge of the keys, and they are only visible under sufficient light in a tiled visual angle.

To better explain what I mean, I've taken a photo of my MBA keyboard. My camera is bad, so only a few of the dots are being captured. In fact almost every key has a dot.

I'm curious if any MBA owners share the same situation with me? Is it something normal, say these dots are just some traces left by the manufacturing process?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I'm not really sure, but it may be related to the keyboard backlighting. In any event I don't believe it's a manufacturing defect. Why not give Apple support a call and ask?
