[QUOTE="rpg51, post: 1417765, member: 234706"] [b]This is a new MBA - not an older computer[/b] Not sure how to quantify the amount of weight involved. But I assure you - my use has been gentle. Nothing at all out of the ordinary. I am aware of this sort of thing and I am careful. In my view if damage occurs with the sort of use I have put this computer to then it is a design flaw. Just one man's opinion. I will be using a microfiber cloth from now on and I will be [U]obsessive[/U] about making sure no pressure whatsoever is placed on computer when it is closed. This is a very fragile little design on this particular score. Pretty? Yes for sure. Durable? Nope. Don't get me wrong - I love the thing and I would buy another in a heart beat (in fact I bought another for my wife last week). I know you are correct though - the damage was caused by weight applied to the top. Where we differ is when you use the term "too much". I wonder if apple did any testing and if so how much weight is within tolerances. [/QUOTE]
