Heat, Whine, and Now Yellow MacBooks

unPlugged-2.0 writes "It appears that Apple's woes with the new MacBook line continue as there have been reports on the forum that the finish on the new MacBook is flaking off or turning yellow. An article on Daily Tech summarizes this report saying: 'Some users have reported the palm rest area, touchpad and mousepad of their new white MacBooks has begun to discolor.' It goes on to say that 'some users on the Apple support forums are reporting moderate to severe discoloration near the palm rest and other locations of their new white MacBooks. At least one user has posted images of the problem to Flickr.' Is this a case of just dirty hands or could it be another problem in Apple's new Intel saga?"

Well, that and the vastly superior user interface compared to windows.

But mostly the shiny.

Just fyi, all it took to scratch a first-revision nano was a moderately soft fabric

Oh noes!!!

Just because there's an easy solution doesn't mean it's not a problem.

This is true. There's an easy solution, but it's still a problem.

It's a problem with an easy solution.

Your point?
