Sharp Edges on Mac Book Pro

I use my macbookpro for hours at a time and recently have been having pain and numbness. It seems that it is resting my hands/wrist on the aluminum case. I would gladly wear some little padded wrist/gloves. I have been looking online for some. If I don't find them I am going to have to knit some up.

cloek, greetings: You did not purchase laptop if you have a MBP. Apple refers to them as notebooks in order to differentiate them from laptops. The recommendations for using a MBP specifically advise you NOT to use it on your lap. They get hot, especially if you are using CPU intensive applications.

Nobody is talking about carpal tunnel symdrome. They are talking about irritations on or under the skin caused by the razor-like sharp edges. Your two points are silly. First, take any Introduction to Design class and you will hear the most basic discussion about form vs. function.

The form or such sharp edges reduces the ability to function. The high sharpness of the edges was nothign but an Apple design issue. They have nothing to do with case strength, as evidenced by Apple itself responding to this with reuctions in sharpness.

You seem to be one of these people who just likes to hear themselves opine, regardless of whether you have anything real to add. The amount of edge that would need to be beveled would have exactly zero to do with the strength of the case.

You are not the first to voice this concern. However understand that your audience here consists of Apple users such as yourself. Venting your dissatisfaction here will not change anything because Apple Corporation does not read or review these discussions.

Ciao.

Did you happen to notice that you replied to a post that is over three and a half years old to do nothing but castigate the poster? I don't see how that is at all helpful.

I AM ABOUT TO GO BUY WRIST GUARDS! I didn't use my computer for extended periods of time when I first purchased it. I wish now that I had. After about a half an hour on my 2012 Macbook Pro, my wrists have several marks on them and the pain starts to grate on my nerves.

It's terrible!!!!

As for all of the ergonomic suggestions, I've had PLENTY of laptops and none of them have cut into my writsts like this.

I am about to try to find those wrist bands people wore in aerobics class in the 1980's.

This is a serious design fail on Apple's part and did not happen with my first Macbook G4 or with any PC I have used.

I love the computer and the retina display but I'm a writer.

OUCH!!!

It should have come with a warning!

Can anyone suggest anything other than than funny laptop contraption? I love my computer but need to be able to write without the prominent slices in my wrist!

I am petite. Is that part of the problem here? Whoa.

I just brought the new Mac Book pro with a retina display… this is my first Apple computer although I have used iPad and iPhone for years. I've only had it two weeks and Love it for the exception of the ridiculously sharp edges that hit my wrist. I just did research on the issue and see that it has been a problem for years. It looks like they have no intention of fixing the problem. I literally have to cut a sock up to put it over my wrist to use my laptop. I read many people saying that if you use it properly your wrist won't hit the edges. I find that it should be up to me how I use my laptop and I should not be in pain with the way that I use it. I have never had this problem with a PC laptop. Don't get me wrong I would never go back to a Windows machine but this is a significant issue. I have really considered filing the edges down on my new Machine but I am worried that it will take away from the look. Not sure there is any other solution besides wearing ridiculous wristband to use you laptop. I am just disappointed to find that this is not a new issue and that it is one that has been around for years. Again, I think Apple is a wonderful company but I do not compare apple to a Windows machine I compare apple to watch Apple could be. Even the latest IOS on the iPhone has several glitches that I'm sure Steve Jobs would never have approved. For example when you use voice for texting the little weekly line does not go away. Steve jobs would be like what the…

Don't feed it, people. Maybe it will die of starvation...
