Whoa -- that's interesting. Gonna have to check mine out when I get home tonight. Perhaps that'll explain the heat my MB gets. (Though if it doesn't have the laminate, it just means I got a really hot MB).

Well, turns out mine doesn't have the plastic, which just means it runs hot even with the proper ventilation.

Engadget put out a call for anyone with a similar plastic cover and found no one. So either it's a one-time manufacturing defect, or a hoax.
