Warped/Slightly Pushed up Keyboard
Hi all,
Just received first Mac. Happy overall, but here's the concern:
The keyboard is slightly pushed up on the left side, as if there is a subtle hump running parallel to the speaker grill under and between the tab-caps lock-shift and q-a-z keys. I realize this is a plastic keyboard and don't realistically expect it to be perfectly aligned, but I am worried that there is now not enough play between the screen and fn-shift-caps lock keys when lid is closed. It is noticeably lower on the right side. Looks like the offending keys are 2mm raised above grill. Also the keys are off alignment across the board, with 2mm gaps between some and others physically touching, so I'm wondering if there's something under there pushing up that shouldn't be.
Are the keys supposed to be flush or slightly raised to begin with? I'm going to haul this around a fair amount and don't want a scratched screen if it's going to rub.
I have Applecare and have had this MPB for a few days now. There's an Apple store nearby, so if for some reason it needed repair could they easily fix the keyboard at the store (or is that just opening up a can of worms anyway?).
Thanks!
