I like how other laptop manufacturers deal with the "keyboard problem" (this problem is present in PCs too, my aunt has an old thin sony vaio that has the exact prints of the keys on the LCD). The Toshiba that my friend has has a "riser" all around the LCD so the LCD sinks in rather than be close to being flush with the border. Of course this adds like a cm to the thickness. I just think Apple needs to focus on the interior as well as the exterior. The insides of any powerbook or powermac look practically identical to PCs. Maybe hide the circuitry by placing non serviceable parts inside another case within the powerbook/ibook.
Anyway, my Tibook's been to Applecare once and I got it back and there was cosmetic damage to the hinges, the keyboard hadn't been secured, and the case creaked when I picked it up. I did get the creaking to stop, I tightened all the screws on the bottom. But yeah, the hinges are an eyesore, but not worth me sending it back to Apple for 2 more weeks (I had trouble convincing them an obvious manufacture defect was in fact a manufacture defect). The only good Apple service I've gotten was from the Apple Genius in the St. Louis store. I kinda wished Apple required that they keep so machine parts in back for on-site repairs. Imagine bringing in a laptop and getting it back that day. That'd be awesome.
