just noticed this in the last few days
i havent dropped or damaged my mbp in any other way
bought it in august, its a 15" 2.4ghz SR model

when charging, the two metal parts next to the trackpad feel rough and bumpy, but also smooth.
its very weird, the case feels smooth, but as you pass your finger over it, you get a bumpy sensation in it

this only happens when charging, but does not happen all the time when charging. also, if i move the battery slightly, it stops
right now, its not doing it, but 3 mins ago it was

its not a major issue right now, i just dont want to be electrocuted in a few weeks time :)

also, its quite hard for me to take it to an apple store (nearest is an hour away) and i need it for school!

any ideas/suggestions? thanks, and sorry if its not making much sense, its not to me either!
