[Ti] 17" Lid not closing flat, checked out a model at the Apple Store

[Mark Dorset]

Hiya,

FWIW, I bought a new 15" powerbook a few weeks ago and noticed that the 
lid didn't close quite flush with the notebook. I didn't really think 
about screen fractures so much, but that it may cause additional or 
unenen stress on the hinges which have been known to cause some issues 
on the 15" pb's in the past. Aesthetically I can deal with it - it's 
only 1mm or so, so what I did was called Apple and logged a ticket with 
them, then on their advice, brought it to an apple service centre so 
they could look at it. Nothing much has been done to change the slight 
problem, but I figure that I've safeguarded myself by officially 
notifying apple of it; I've been assured that there oughtn't be any 
problems by it, but if there is in the future, I can point back to the 
beginning days of the notebook purchase where I brought it to their 
attention and let them be responsible from there.

;-)
