Help for Sharp Edges

all i have to say for everyone who is complaining about these so-called "sharp edges" is wow. i would much rather have a beautiful machine that works perfectly than a bulky rounded edge ugly duckling. the edges arent even remotely sharp to me. the machine wouldnt even shut flush if the edges were rounded, not to mention it would look like a 1980's machine. either you people havent ever endured real pain or you have nothing else to gripe about. its just plain ridiculous that some people would rather buy a linux or even a windows( ewww ) machine simply because they cant type correctly. sorry apple doesnt accomodate peoples bad typing postures. maybe its the people that cry about the not-so-sharp edges that should change becuase apple has captured beauty and reliability and i commend them for that. suck it up folks, or get a tissue, either way im tired of you wasting valuable/helpful space with this nonsense. so either stop or start donating babysitting fees for those of us who have to listen to the crying. sharp edges...give me a break.

One quick correction I didn't realize when making my last statement that timeshootsonby had just chimed in out of the blue ith his comment. I was under the impression by his reaction to my previous statement that he was the thread starter. All others parts of my last statement remain valid except the difference in me and you is I already have my MacBook. By the way I paid $1625 for mine with the options I chose and I still took the razor knife and sandpaper to it. It's a five minute repair and viola no more annoying sharp edges.

The iLap laptop stand looks like it might help.

You would think they have some kind of gel clips you could purchase.

Do you have 2 small stress blass? If so, stick one under each wrist, or right on the edge of the MB where your wrist would go (same thing twice).

Where is it sharp? I'm not understanding. Mine has no sharp edges to me.

stress blass? what is a blass?

Oh my gosh! I musta be livke really stupid ;-( I meant BALL, SORRY SORRY

The edges aren't particularly sharp, nor are they rounded, but after a 30 minute demo in the shop it was clearly a problem. Perhaps Apple have gone insane?

All around the out side edge of MacBook where the sandwich together.
There us a bevel between the white exterior and off white interior.
The white edge seems to be more sharp.

Can anyone explain that better then I did?

file the sharp edges down, the plastic is fairly soft and the razor sharp edge disappears rather quickly

I haven't seen or used the new MacBook yet, but from what I've read in these forums over the last few weeks, an emory board seems to be in order here.

I work with my hands, and if something is too sharp or harsh to continually hold or work with, I get out the file, dremel, sand-paper, or whatever it takes, to make things right (smooth).

These new laptops are just another tool, and when mine arrives, I intend to "round off" the area (edge?) in question - if need be.

I'm guessing that a light filing will make things right and not be too noticable.

I've been using the MacBook for 2 weeks now, and though the edges did seem a bit sharp for the first two days, you get used to them. They certainly do NOT cut your wrists or anything of that sort. I don't even notice it anymore.
