Sharp Edge wrist rest on White Macbook

Some thread or some user posted about this too, I don't know how sharps is your MacBook edge, but mine is tolerable for my hand.

I also use the armpad/wristpad called ergobeads from iMak that like a long and big sausage but contain small beads and change shape as you lay your wrist on it and cover my MacBook edge.

Has any one complained about how somewhat sharp the
edge (where wrists rest) of the Macbook is?...

I noticed that as well. As mentioned in an earlier thread, just get some very fine sandpaper, or anything that is rough, and just do a light going over direct at the edge. Doesn't take, much. You just want to round it down slighty. No biggie...

I must have small hands, my wrists almost completely fit on to the space between the keyboard and the front of the machine.

Are you using this on a flat surface, such as a desk? Or on your lap...

Not the most comfortable wrist rest, true.

I don't think its too sharp, I suppose based upon your skin's sensativity will dicate whether its too sharp.

I think it will slowly blunt over time either my arms or the edges 🙂

i agree that the edge is too sharp. i had a couple of iBook's (G3 and G4) that had a nicely rounded edge such that you never noticed any issue with the feel of the edge. Then I went to PB G4 12" and the plastic rim was a bit on the sharp side. Now the MacBook is even sharper and has two edges, the top layer and the while outer casing. It definitely could use some smoothing out.

I'm having the same problem with my new White Macbook. And since I'm in law school, I'm basically typing all the time - my wrists are all marked up and pinched from typing.

I'm a little worried about taking sandpaper to my brand new computer, though. Does anyone have any other suggestions for sealing or fixing the wrist rest?

ive noticed it, but mostly related to the position of the computer and the position of my wrists.

The sharp edge is inconsistent with Apple's normally excellent design. I got my MacBook yesterday and immediately noticed irritation by the sharp edge.

I have resorted to taping a piece of card stock on each side to round off the edge, and that helps. Apple should change the design.

Former models were excelent in this regard. I have iBook G4 and PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet) both of which are excellent in this regard (Wallstreet being the best of the three).

The sharp edge is currently my biggest complaint about my MacBook. I recently sold my old G4 iBook to my girlfriend (which I'm typing on right now) and the front edge is nice and rounded. The MacBook feels like it's cutting into the heal of my palms. My girlfriend immediately noticed the same thing the first time she played with my MacBook.

It's a real shame because I love everything else about my MacBook. Pretty serious design flaw in my opinion.
