Does the 13" or 14" Macbook Pro hurt your wrists or hands?

I wonder if this is because these new models are thicker than the models they replaced?

This data set is getting more statistically significant. 30% of people don’t like it and 10% can’t use these machines. Lol.

now 70% feel perfectly fine lol

That's what I'd guess. I finally experienced what the OP was talking about last night. I normally use a lap desk and that evens everything out and makes putting your palms down more comfortable. I didn't have my lap desk last night and eventually my palms got sore from the sharp corners.

This happened as well with my Intel MBP, but to a far lesser degree.

I have very fleshy hands so it takes a lot for something to press into my hands enough to cause discomfort. It wasn't bad to me, but for someone with thinner hands I could see it being quite unpleasant.

Lap desk. Get a good lap desk with a built in wrist pad... or just get a wrist pad for table top use.

Well I also wondered a few other things too. Like if it was a production variance from the milling of the aluminum top case. Or if the space grey models would be different because they are anodized. Or over time, normal usage smoothes out those rough edges, much like the weathering of rocks from water.

Neither your hands nor your wrists should touch the edges when using good typing posture.

yeah, try good typing posture for 8-10 hours a day. not happening.
