I haven't noticed any really sharp edges. Could you take a pic or better describe where the sharp area is?
No ****, it is pretty sharp! If you are sitting on a lower than the place where your umbp is, then it does actually hurt the wristes (can't spell). It's not a big deal, cause it isn't hard to move your hands a bit, or just move the computer a bit in on the table, and then there's no problem.
you know.. you guys need to stop complaining. im sick of all these... crooked keys, glossy display, fcked up trackpad
for god's sake, just be a man and live with that cut dude.
..in case you didnt notice, it was a joke.
btw, i checked and no razor sharp edges on mine

Feel the edge of the MBP bottom case, its sharp. Not really like a razor but its sharp...
I just picked mine up yesterday. 2009 17" Macbook Pro 5.2 at 2.8Ghz
Mine is Razor Sharp. Within 30 minutes I had a cut on my right hand. Within 60 minutes I had 5 layers of tape stuck on to keep the cutting action down.
In a fight I'm ready to use my open Macbook like a sword
Thanksgiving will be a great time to carve a turkey with my Macbook Pro.
so angry about this
i bought this macbook to write a book and i can't because after only a little time my wrists are torn up. i went to these forums and people said to buy this protection pack from marware, so i spent $30 on it, and it doesnt' do anything to help. it just protects the computer - not my wrists, which have giant gashes in them!! so i now have just paid another $46 to get an "iLap" which is just b.s. - i shouldn't have to spent $86 to not have my wrists torn to shreds using a laptop i paid a grand for! really wrong. apple should fix this. apple should reimburse me. its terrible. i really hurt and most of all i am upset that i want to be working but i am too afraid of the pain.

It's not sharp... I just wasted 5 minutes of my life trying to cut my wrists and all I got were some red marks that disappeared after 5 seconds. I'm not muscular or thick skinned. You have to really push down just to get a red mark.
I am not entirely sure why this thread from Nov 2008 was bumped, but to get to the point. Either the OP has knives on the edge of his laptop of he is just trying to start something. I have never had an issue with the edge of the laptop, perhaps you should try using proper typing position and stop pressing down on the edge of the laptop with insane force. The fact that you say you have gashes on your wrist is interesting to me. How are you still alive? If you cut yourself that many times, the thing would be covered in blood and you would be dead.
Are you sure you aren't getting your cuts from somewhere else? Like that knife?

who knows... defective one wasnt machined right... but whatever the case first place it should go is back to apple... why bother doing anything else....
