Well, I received a 15" mbp today while I am a grad student the next 2-3 years from my school :D

However, I noticed that the IT guy must have done something such that there is a tiny dent in the bottom casing :(

Is there a way to nullify this dent somehow?

Good one ; )

To the OP.

I like my toys to show their age, even if it is early in their lives as long they are not impaired functionally. Call it acquired personality..

Otherwise, I don't think you can mend that safe employing a skilled toolmaker.
 
You could take the bottom and try to push the dent back out, but this might cause more damage. You can also buy another bottom piece. At least it's the bottom and not the lcd lid.
 
If you just got the machine from the store, return it.

If you got it back from your school as part of a package (scholarship and whatnot), I don't see much you can do.

If by IT you meant repair or initial-setup, then time to visit the repair guy then.
 
I have a barely noticeable dent on my lid and another on the front corner, bothered me at first, but now don't care, gives it character lol

Its a little to late to offer this advice but it might help in the future. Get a nice case for it. they have some pretty cool translucent cases for mbp's.
 
I guess the only thing you can do is get you a hardcase to prevent further dents in the future?

I've heard reports of those leaving scratches on your Mac because of dust and stuff.

I've heard the same, but my sister has had a incase hard cover for her macbook for the past year and no issues. Perhaps since her macbook is made from more durable plastic with coating and the macbook pro is aluminum?

Yeah, I think the aluminum is more prone to scratches than plastic MB's
