Just a note to add that you can easily fix these keys - just lift them in the opposite end and they will rectify themselves. Don't worry if they pop out - they pop back in easy![]()
This is pitiful.
People who return a piece of technology for such an utterly trivial reason should be considered too immature of mind to buy expensive consumer products.
I suggest parents buy the machines and hold them until the return period is over, before entrusting them to such offspring.

Meh...if the keys work, who cares? If nothing else is wrong with the computer, hold on to it for dear life!
Stop lying, Apple does not charge a 1000 dollar premium.Considering Apple charges a $1000 premium for these computers, you'd better have everything perfect.

Really? I bought my wife's XPS 1530 with the exact same specs as my Pro for $995.
i have the same problem. F4 and F6 keys are really crooked. did anybody bother to get their MBP's exchanged?
better yet -- did anyone figure out a way to reset/realign these keys? can u pop them out?

I created a thread about this a few days ago but it got no replies, but anyway, I popped the key off of one key that is crooked, the f5 key, and one that is not, the esc key, and I put the esc key in the position that the f5 key was in, and it was not crooked anymore. I did the same for other keys to, so I starting to think that maybe its the keys that are bad and not the way the macbook pro was made. If any of you who have crooked keys could try this and see if it works, we might be able to fix this problem for good just by getting replacement keys.

Then I guess you can consider me immature. I bought my week 45 MBP a week and a half ago, and the majority of the keys were raised on one side. The backslash key actually got jammed under the aluminum, and I took it back. The next week 45 had the same problem with the F keys, a rattling battery door, and seemed to be slightly warped (like a bad barstool). I returned that one this morning for a week 46 MBP, and all of the problems seem to have been fixed. They keys are as precise as my wireless keyboard, and the battery door is nice and snug.This is pitiful.

no u didnt. unless u got the xps 1530 with some major discount or something...
Obviously the computer is a toy/status symbol to some people and not a tool to work on. C'mon man, seriously does the slight .mm slant of those keys impede your work at all in any way whatsoever? So you would return a computer free of video problems, no dead pixels, loose battery cover and no fan buzzing or any other defects that have been mentioned on these forums? Totally unbelievable.
