I just noticed what appears to be a crack on the back on my macbook by where the vents are. I'm not sure if it is a seam in the plastic or a really straight crack...I'm hoping its the former. It is right where the black line is in the picture

sorry about the picture. The "crack" doesnt show up well. It is just a small straight line right where the blackline is on the pic..I added it in photoshop just to show where the crack is. I'll try to get a better pic tmmrw when i get home from school. It appears to be the line where the screen connects to the hinge

if you're talking about the real fine line, it's a seam where the screen backing meets the hinge cover...completely normal
