Man files "sharp" edge off his MacBook Pro

by Michael Grothaus Apr 1st 2010 at 12:30PM



I own a 2009 MacBook Pro and have never had this problem, but everyone's different. John Pozadzides got sick and tired of his MacBook Pro's sharp edge digging into his wrist (and people thinking he was trying to kill himself) so he took it into his own hands to file that beautiful machine's unibody to his liking. Watch the video above to see how he does it and in just 10 to 20 strokes of a $5 file you too can have a smooth-edged MacBook Pro.

BTW -- if you actually take a file to your $2000 laptop, you're on your own. We don't endorse this in any way.

Never had and issue with the edge, I keep my wrists raised when typing. Habit I've got into, being a pianist.

Weird... those sharp edges have never bothered me, and I work on my new 17" unibody MacBook Pro for 12+ hours per day. Hmmm... maybe there's something wrong with me! ;-)

Awesome! Don't think I could do it to one myself, but whatever makes that guy happy.

I'd do it in a second if it didn't void my warranty.

Obviously money is not an issue for him, did you see his house/cabinets. I don't believe he would mine dropping another load of cash on the next Mbp.

I'm on my MacBook Pro all day, and I never have a problem with this. He can kiss his warranty goodbye. Apple won't cover a laptop that has been modified in this way.
