Pitting on MacBookPro surface board

[i-Movies]

Anyone has the same issue? My MBP is only 6 months old, and I have noticed the pitting on the surface board where the base of my palm rest. I guess it was caused by hand sweating, is it normal with local temperature and humidity? Is it cleanable?

quite a common problem if no additional protection lining pasted over it.

too bad, doesn't seem to have a solution to clean up these dots... is it covered by apple care?

Definitely no. Cosmetic defects due to usage are not covered.

Will a wrist/palm guard pasted on it help prevent the issue?

that may damage screen when you close the lid?

No it won't, at least on my MBP which I've been using for over 4.5 years and the moshi palm guard has been pasted since day one. Up to now still like new.

In fact I noticed Apple already removed the palm rest from rMBP category.

No it won't and I only believe what I've seen over the years of usage. By the way my current rMBP is also using gosh! palm rest with a screen protector and keyboard guard, and so far so good too.

u can try alcohol wipes

but dont ever use water based solutions.

ps: most users buy palm guard for the macbooks

 

[duhduhduh]

Get the palm guard.

I use it to cover my stains... ):

I bought one yesterday, didn't find Moshi anywhere but found a local brand call GoSh!, looks quite OK, feels quite thin too, so installed it. Although it is very thin but still can feel difference especially on the edge of touchpad, other than this, it is matched perfectly, no outline mark on screen when closing the lid, but, why i still feel uncomfortable? psychological effect? i am not sure if i should remove it or not...

u will get used to it

palm guard also can act as shield for static discharged when you using laptop on AC supply

i already removed it... after used 24 hours. 44 bucks wasted...

i dont have static discharge issue.

If u use the long cable, won't have any static issues.
