Today, soon, not later so Apple Care can cure that for you.
I have had my MBP for many months now, and it is occurring to me that the part of its casing is coming off where the infrared port and latch are. And for those who don't understand what I mean, it's up and to the left of the disc drive. When I purchased this MBP, it had already been like this, so I decided that it wasn't a problem or it was supposed to be like that. Well now, it appears to spreading along the edge of where it started. You can push it a bit, right on top of the latch, but it solves nothing. What's more is that apparently, the entire shell/casing of the laptop is coming apart! Now it's all screwed together of course, but several places above the latch and the ports lining the sides are not staying together cohesively. And it wasn't like this beforehand. the new models at the Apple Store don't have this problem.
I have the APP, even though it's still in its first year. Software wise, it has no problem, and the system itself is working great. But this hardware issue is slowing getting worse, and you can only tell if you've used it a lot or know what to look for.
This is a pre-Santa Rosa model running at 2.16Ghz which has been replaced by the 2.2Ghz model with the Nvidia cards. Mine has the ATI card. This is becoming a nuisance, but as Leopard is almost out, there are bound to be some new upgrades in a few months to the MBP line. But if you wait in the tech world, you'll never get anything, so I figure I should take it to my local Apple Store. But is this worth all the trouble? It defintely seems to be getting somewhat worse as time goes by.
