Small chip which is visible only under great light and specific angle

[AjTee]

Hello,

I am MBP 2017 13 inch owner.

During today's cleaning I have noted very small chip on a black frame area which is not in workspace range.

This chip looks like small speck of dust or a drop of dried saliva. During cleaning I used Fellowes wipes and dry microfibre wipe.

Sample image with chip location:

Does it qualify for replacement? Do you have any chips on your Mac's? Could it be not a chip but permanent cleaning mark?

Awaiting your suggestions.

...Why on Earth would you want a replacement because of that?

 

[AjTee]

Because it is annoying.

Because it is annoying.

I'd love to have that issue as the worst thing about having these Touchbar generation MBPs. I've had S E V E N keyboard failures. Why are you complaining about a COSMETIC ISSUE that doesn't affect use of the machine?

During the era of butterfly mechanism keyboard, it is fortunate to have cosmetic issues rather than keyboard failure or flexgate issue

 

[AjTee]

Could be because of cleaning wipes ?

Does it qualify for replacement?

If you want to buy a new machine, go ahead. it's your decision.

1st no because a 2 year old machine is not under warranty anymore
2nd no because cosmetic damage wasn’t even before under warranty

3rd no because, OMG the title of the thread...

That’s a 15” MBP, not 13”.

Do you have AC+? Otherwise you will have to pay for the repair (probably repair not replacement).

Because it is annoying.

Re-read your title again

I guarantee that you will not forget about it and/or stop noticing it, especially since you can't see it fur normal usage.
