...I just picked up a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM from an Apple Store. When I took it out of the box, I noticed, when the screen is closed and looking at the front of the MBP the right side's screen is raised up about 1/16 of an inch compared to the left side. Do you think the screen will warp even more? Should I try taking it back to the store? I would really appreciate any ideas and thoughts. Thank you so much in advance!!
Got a tip for us?

On almost every mbp I've seen thus far, the screen seems to sit slightly uneven on one side (usually on the left side). I wouldn't worry too much.
when are they going to fix that already god??
why dont they start making them better now??
who wants to pay more then $2,000 on a laptop that doesnt close evenly?? my $800 hp closes tight

Atleast that doesn't sound like much to me. If you can provide us with a picture it will be much easier to tell if its not a big deal or it actually is warped.
You're $800 HP also have a plastic friction hinge and doesn't have counter resistance against closing; this "issue" is documented; pretty much the only way to fix it is to a magnetic latch.
Doubt it'll get worse,this has been going on since the year dot with the MBP's so it's normal & if you did try & take it back there only say it's within spec
Normal.
Mine was like that when it came three months ago but as the lid is open almost all the time now it has straightened out. Some people pile books on the sides of the closed lid overnight but honestly if you just leave the lid up it will get better.

I've had two MBP's and some PB's. They all had a little difference in front closed gap from right to left. Standard and within specs. You'll get used to it and none of mine got any worse.
