My MacBook cuts like a knife

I have a long history of being immune to most of the widespread problems that people tend to have with Apple hardware, but today my luck has run out. I have started using a new MacBook (black, thanks for asking) as a replacement for my aging 12-inch Powerbook. Although I hate the extra weight it adds to my backpack, the speed and functionality the MacBook offers when I am on-the-go made it appealing enough for me to finally give in.
Until yesterday I'd been mostly using an external keyboard and mouse with the MacBook since I haven't had to lug it around with me much lately. But since I am a mobile blogging machine here at Macworld, I am using the built-in keyboard and trackpad all week and realizing that all those reports I read about the edges on some MacBooks being sharp as a Ginsu are true: my own MacBook is afflicted.
