I have a 15" 1.5GHz PowerBook bought in August '05 (although according to Apple's serial number log, it was actually assembled in May '05 - I bought it brand new).
Recently (last few months), I've noticed the silver paint has begun to wear off some of the keys - the E, O, I, L, S and M keys, with the E being the worst. It is wearing around the letter, and in the case of the E, there is a dark grey blob inside the bars of the letter and just around it (I'll post a picture when I get a chance).
I did not buy AppleCare with this - £1400 was enough money to spend for a student! But, as the computer was bought less than a year ago from an Apple Store (Bluewater, Kent, UK), can I get the keys replaced under warranty, as this does seem excessive wear beyond wear and tear and doesn't really reflect the £1400 price tag?
Thanks for the advice
