Hurting My Wrists On Sharp Edges of My uMBP

Good luck with that. They will just tell you you arent using it properly probably, thus they arent liable.

That is terrible (your wrist). So much so that you should modify how you type, whether you have the mac or not

Hmm, my wrist really hurts, i think il keep doing it for two months. O look! howd that happen all of the sudden.........

Gosh, some of you guys are oversensitive and take things too literally. I've had to change the topic twice already.

What do you expect? Half the people are on here are still in highschool. So how can people like that no be overly dramatic?

found a fix that works without altering the MBP.

It places the keyboard at a comfortable typing angle as well. I tried other versions of a laptop stand (belkin one sold at costco and another targus one with risers) but this one is the most stable and also looks the best.

I wish the MBP had little feet or a riser that flips down to raise the back a 1/2 inch.

Awesome idea actually! However, I think Apple avoids moving parts because they have a tendency to break.

I like that Targus thing. It's very portable.

The part of your wrist with the injury is supposed to sit on the palm rest, not on the edge.

You won't win a lawsuit.

Either you have small hands or I have large hands 'cause that doesn't work.

like others have said, your not supposed to have your wrists and palms touching wile typing.... period

Actually that's not really my wrist. Its a fake and I'm F.O.S.

I've never had any problems typing on my unibody. I don't understand how anyone could possibly hurt themselves typing on this laptop. when I type, its just my fingertips that touch the keys, not my palms or wrists at all.

Maybe get an external keyboard?

Break out the 4" grinder...plug that puppy, in and have at it......will take the edge of that aluminum in nothing flat!

Now seriously... take a small block of wood, say 2x3 inches... and get some 1200 grit wet dry sandpaper.....wrap the sandpaper around the block and pull it tight. Holding a consistent angle against the sharp edge, run the sandpaper down the edge in smooth consistent strokes with light to moderate pressure..... several strokes then check with your finger.... still feel sharp, match angle again and repeat. With that very fine grit you will be almost polishing the edge as opposed to sanding/grinding the metal away..... Patience, easy pressure, and perseverance will get the job done nicely.

Well, I'm suing apple. After two months of use I cant believe my wrists look like this.

The problem isn't your MBP, your problem is that you were too stupid to change your usage methods before it came to that.

Or you listen to too much emo.

I sanded the edges down using the metal nail filer on my toe nail clippers.

Definitely did the trick. No more sharp edges. I don't even notice that it's filled down.
