[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1174630, member: 181804"] Yes... older MacBook Pros, PowerBooks, and iBooks were notorious for the keys rubbing the screen and causing marks on the display. Apple's typical response was that this was caused by excessive pressure between the lid and keyboard, like carrying the computer in a backpack or an overly tight laptop bag. They considered the damage accidental damage and not a design flaw. For these older units, I do recommend using a microfiber cloth or something similar between the screen and keyboard. The unibody design and the flat keys give a little more clearance, so the issue has been mostly resolved. [/QUOTE]
