I was so excited when I got my new MacBook in August. I felt like a new father, caring for my new bundle of plastic as if it were human. But then I noticed that my child's skin was starting to get dirty, and it wouldn't clean. The wrist rests just below the keyboard and on either side of the track pad were turning a sickening light brown and dull grey. I was horrified. At first, I thought it was the result of dirty hands, but then I researched the issue and found that Apple had sent out a batch of MacBooks with tainted plastics. So I called Apple in hopes of resolving the issue.
After spending three hours of my time Sunday, I finally got to talk to someone who knew something. He told me I was eligible for a new MacBook. At first I was a little shocked, thinking instead that I would have to send it off and wait for Apple to repair it.
I thought for a minute, then agreed. Luckily I don't have that much stuff on the hard drive yet, so it won't be a huge chore to copy the files to CD.
I know many other MacBook users out there are experiencing this same problem. I urge you to call Mac tech support right away to resolve the issue. After three hours of my time Sunday, I'm getting a brand new machine that hopefully won't discolor.
