the enter key, the keyboard on ur average malaysian computer. thats U.S layout. U.K layout is different as the enter key is following the arrow. means it looks like an L. but flip the L the other side.

well, windows 7 keeps giving me pop ups with secure this and secure that, so i decided to go try a macbook. thus hoping things might be better. true it is better, less pop ups and less security issues now to worry. but the compatibility.... that is where hands down loses to win

do u mind posting some pics of the affected areas? would like to have a look  hmm.gif  btw u could consider using a moshi palmguard to prevent it.

How effective will the palmguard be???

as i can see, it covers the top part, not the edges, i fear the most is the heat, place a plastic on top, plus the mbp has no proper ventilation like an alienware or a hp envy..

it actually does, the left side, try doing intensive application for 2 hours on the go. u will definitely feel the heat, although is not scorching hot, it is beginning to worry me, but the i7 chip have gone to the extend where i can feel the heat thru the black keyboard..

Is there any other guard that like protects at least the edges as well?? like u know when u rest ur hand while typing or using the trackpad???

Im finding one but all i can find is the moshi palmguard
