I've just got a new MBP 2 days ago. So far I'm loving the new force touch trackpad. However, my fingers can feel a tiny bit of something appears on the trackpad surface. It is hard to describe. I've have looked carefully and the trackpad is beautifully fine. This thing is completely invisible. You can only feel it with your finger.
Is this thing normal for a new machine and will be gone later on?
I would bring the MBP back and have it examined. You also can make comparisons with display models.
If you purchased your MBP directly from Apple (not a reseller) you may exchange it for a new MBP within 14 days from the date of purchase of get a refund.
Ciao.
I live in New Zealand and there is no Apple store here. Because I purchased this one directly from Apple, the only way to get an exchange is to contact Apple and ship this MBP back to their warehouse, which takes about 2 weeks. I already exchanged my new MBA for this MBP and it is kind of a hassle for me to do it again.
I tried two display models in authorized stores, one got similar issue like mine, the other is smooth as butter. So I'm very confused right now 😟
You could move to Australia. They have Apple stores there. 😉
I would try to clean the trackpad very thoroughly with a fine micro fiber cloth. Put a dab of household cleaner on the cloth, but not wet enough to get inside the MBP.
Since I have only older MBPs. I cannot say if the new trackpads are any different. Now my 2006 trackpad does not fell quite as smooth as those on the 2010 and late 2011 do. I do not know if the difference is attributable due to manufacturing differences or a change in specifications.
This is the best advice I can offer and I understand and sympathize with your logistical disadvantages.
Ciao.
Thank you. Maybe I'll give a call to Apple support to see what they talk about this.
