I ordered a 15 2.4Ghz HR AG and the first one has a couple of scuffs on it when it arrived (as well as the yellow tinge issue).
I sent it back and got my replacement today (also had yellow tinge), and this one was worse cosmetically! It looked like they had reused some old packaging. There were scratches all along the inside of the box, dust and crud under the plastic, the plastic coverings were all scratched up, and the unit itself had various marks on it (the biggest one being something that looked like an etched coffee ring around the power button). Sending this one back too for replacement.
If you CTO-ed your MBP, did it arrive looking pristine?
I dunno why it's such a problem to just get a new laptop that actually looks new.
Apple has been gracious in providing me compensation on both units, but it's just such a hassle......and who knows if the next one won't be worse. Have to wait at least another week for the new replacement to see.
0/2 right now on trying to get a decent MBP...never had issues with my previous 2 Macs.
