Default 17" notebooks: bad engineerization?

Guys,

I've noticed an recurrent, annoying issue in Apple 17" notebooks. I've
owned two of them: a PowerBook 17 (first generation) and a brand new
MacBook Pro.

The problem is that the bottom right corner of the keyboard (mainly the
right arrow key) is slightly raised from the base. Eventually, this
tends to permanently scratch the screen.

My previous PowerBook had an adventurous life, so I blamed myself
because I thought it was my fault. Not my new MacBook; it's one week
old and I've been very careful: I always use a protective skin and a
Brenthaven bag when carrying it.

Does anybody experience the same problem?

TIA,

Andrea

Having suffered with screen marking from the keyboard on my TiBook, I've
always used a screen protector with both my 17" AlBooks.

Once you have some key-screen markings is there a good way to get rid of
them safely?

Thanks.

You can clean off any grime that has transferred to the screen from the
keys using an LCD screen cleaner, but the indentations are there for
good, I'm afraid.
