I recently bought Mac Book Pro and my dominant hand keeps tingling everytime I work on computer for for then few minutes. The very unpleasant tingling feeling stays for rest of the day pretty much.
Do you have any experience with this, solution how to get rid off it, or what to do?
thank you, Adam

The new MBPros have a different layout than the MBAirs and even the older model MBPros. For one thing the Trackpad is much bigger and you may be adjusting your hands to avoid it when using the keyboard. I believe the palmrest is deeper on the new MBPros than with the MBAir so you may be straining to reach they keys. Pay close attention while you use the laptop to see how you are holding your hands, wrists, and arms. Compare it with how you use your old MBAir.
If you feel it may be an electrical shock, then use a grounded AC cord for your power adapter in case the wiring in your house has a problem. If this solves your problem, then you should hire an electrician to check the wiring in your house. Here is the grounded AC cord for the US.

If you live in another region, then locate the correct one for your region on the Apple Store, or visit an Apple retail store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if they have one you can purchase.

When typing on any keyboard, it is important to keep you wrist in a neutral position, not flexed up or down, else you put yourself in danger of repetitive strain injury. Some users find that placing they keyboard on a surface lower than standard desk heigh helps you do this naturally.
Some users find that using an actual mouse, rather than a trackpad, helps make their problems less severe. If your fingers are the issue, a trackball moves many of the fine motor movements to your arm and shoulder muscles instead of your fingers.
Any sensation that does not stop immediately when you stop using your computer COULD be a repetitive strain injury -- there are MANY different types, not just Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Pains or tingling that does not stop when you stop the activity could be serious, and you should investigate with your Physician.

Yes, other people may also have medical problems (repetitive stress injuries are fairly common). That doesn't change the fact that you should see a doctor.

It sounds like some sort of repetitive stress injury. Consult your doctor.
