The edges where the wrists lay are pretty sharp. Am i the only one that's noticed this?

Yup, same here. I'm hoping as we use it more it will wear away... or else I might have to take a fine file to it ;p

I don't have a MacBook Pro, but that's been a problem with the AlBooks, too. In those, it certainly does not wear down.

Worse on the white than the black.

Being rubberized plastic, the black isn't as sharp.

It's not so bad on my wrist, but it really bugs on the heel of my right hand when using the trackpad for awhile!

"MacBook: The computing choice for the suicidal."... A catchy new Apple slogan?

Yes. It's a little bit annoying. I wonder why they made the edges so sharp, considering Jobs likes rounded corners.
