I've since sold my businesses off.
Shoot... too bad you sold your business... I wanted to buy one of your perfect machines and take back this piece of crap MBP that Apple sold me

So, after comparing to the pictures here and elsewhere it seems what I have is normal, however I'm going to send it in for a replacement anyway as now I'm having random kernel panics-- I had 7 yesterday (my first day with it!) all occurred while doing nothing more than browsing and chatting.
I'm also reading that the kernel panics may be a regular error as well... if this is true, then how is this better than the vista machine I just switched from (which, by the way almost never crashed on me)?

Ive been through 7-8 15" mbp just last month
Ok, I've had 6 kernel panics today, all while running only:
-Safari
-Adium
And nothing else. This is my second day with this laptop, and I'm pretty sure I'm calling apple tomorrow and getting a refund. Honestly, I'm thinking as much as I enjoy OSX, it's time to go back to a nice Dell. I've never felt so disappointed in my life... I've never been so excited to get a new computer, and this has totally ruined the experience for me.
If they wouldn't guarantee you that they'd fix it, I would just outright return it. And, if they don't refund the entire amount of your purchase (as in if they charge a restocking fee), then I'd challenge it with your credit card company to recover the full amount.
Do not accept defects, and don't let them push you past the return period by killing time with shipping. They can get you past that 14 day return period with you not having a computer in your hands.
I say return and demand a full refund.
Agreed. If they can't build a proper product, take your money elsewhere. There's no reason to settle when spending two grand.
Incredible how much a few words can say...
Lol, 8 in one month and took 2 different apple stores 4 and 4 for each.. with no restocking fee.. 8th exchange I exchanged to the 17" hi res mbp and now has ended my search for the perfect or ultimate mbp! =D
anyways before that last year.. with the 2.4Ghz mbp or the 2.2Ghz mbp I must have been through 10-12 lol because of the yellow tint issue back then.. with only 1 restock fee.. man so pretty much since last year and this year I've been through literally around 20 exchanges...
I've actually owned it all.. and I'm very tired of exchanging.. glad I went for the 17" hi res mbp as it is perfect, no warping (close perfectly the lid), no left speaker sizzling/electric/hissing noise, no hissing noise via headphone jack and no yellow tint.. 17" hi res mbp is perfect.. finally!!![]()

I got embarrassed doing an a 3rd exchange, so I can imagine how bad it be to do an 8th... And yes the 17" does not really have this issue.
And every PC you've ever had has worked perfectly out of the box? How many have you had? Anecdotal evidence proves nothing, as I'm sure you know.
