I bought my macbook from John Lewis in Edinburgh in August, it comes with the obvious one year support from apple and the shop give you an extra year for free which is as long as i plan on keeping it anyway so i did not bother taking applecare. So my question is this will the below problem be covered under any warranty i have?

On the macbook lid just above the screen are two lines that stick out i presume to soften the blow of the lid closing? Where one of these hits the main body of the computer it has cracked it and the plastic is now coming away from the edge of the laptop, you can see the indentation on the other side but it hasnt got as bad as to crack it yet. I never slam my macbook shut and altho its a bit dirty its well taken care of. Anyone know if this is covered for me to get it fixed?

Thanks

Yes this is covered under Apple warranty. The same thing happened with my old Macbook i phoned up Apple and they told me to take it to the local Apple Reseller. About a week after it was sent off it came back with the new top case which includes the keyboard and mouse.
This is quite a common fault take it in to an Apple store or an Apple reseller and they will fix it free of charge.

Personally i would take it back to John Lewis and ask for a replacement, especially as Apple recognize it as a fault and repair it free of charge.
