Hey,

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. In fact it was this forum that convinced me to get a new 15 " PB.

On the palm rest to the left and right of the track pad I have recently noticed that I am getting pin pricked sized areas where it looks like the aluminum is coming off. [there are lots of these - ie maybe 10 on each side - so that the small size of them starts to make them noticable].

My question is - does anyone have this problem? Does applecare cover something like this?

Any advice?

Thanks,

Steve TD

If it looks like the pics in this thread, then it most likely is the anodization on the aluminum wearing off, and then the exposed aluminum oxidizing.
