Has anyone's MacBook or does anyone know of someone who's MacBook is peeling? This has me worried that my MacBook will not only discolor, but will also peel. Makes me wonder what other problems are awaiting down the road. :mad:

You're probably more likely to loose some hair, from the stress caused by worrying needlessly about 'peeling'. ;)
 
And it only affects weeks 19-23 or so. Also if you send your mac in for any repairs it'll automatically get the new plastics. I sent mine in for the power loss issue and got new plastics.

Is there any way to check my serial number and see what week mine was made?
:confused:
Yes. In the first five digits of your SN, the last two are your week.


to the OP: those pictures from the article look fake to me.. either a protective plastic or some dried glue or something like that, but i definitely doubt that was actually the MB's plastic. Just my opinion though.. anything's possible, I guess.
