i don't really understand the gap...

from outlook of internal look? if from out, when close lid, there will always be gap right?

or does it mean, look close to the gap, it should be black? and not reflection of light?
*
when you close the lid, the gap between the lid and keyboard should be the same on both side (left and right) however mine is not, the gap on the left hand side is higher compare to the right. that is what those ppl in those thread are discussing about. is it a normal thing ? or is it a problem ?

if you look closely u will noticed it.

regarding the lid, it seems some ppl said it's just something normal like wear and tear, some said it's not. ive read somewhere this person exchange his macbook 5 times and all five have this lid problem. maybe this monday i will take back my macbbok to machines.

something weird happend, my ram usage was at 3.5gb after two days of usage. running normal app like adium, firefox etc.

didnt noticed any slowdown or hiccups but the system is reporting only 500mb of free memory is available.

once rebooted everything is back to normal.
