I moved your thread to the correct area since this is a Hardware and not Software issue.

I never have with

either my MB Pro 2010 or my 2011 MB Air. Are you speaking of static electricity? Lots has been written here about that.

There are a couple of similar threads - although I believe in most cases it was determined to be just static. Can you describe the circumstances under you feel the shock?

It could be just static, or the outlet you plug into is not grounded properly.
I have one specific extension cord that gives me the velvety feeling that macs are known for.

There could also be something wrong with the wiring of your mac.
