Filing the corners off my MacBooks

It’s interesting to me that this makes it look old. Even slightly retro. Makes me think of early 2010s ultrabooks.

If my work computer were my own I would do this in a second. The MacBook pro is ridiculously uncomfortable, both in terms of geometry and heat. I don't mind when it gets warm but on a cold morning it's just downright unpleasant to get working on it.

anything but admitting the design is bad and frivolous

I hate those sharp edges. I've contemplated taking a router with a carbide roundover to mine many times.

I have never understood how Jony Ive is highly regarded as a designer when he put not only sharp, aluminum edges but sharp aluminum corners exactly where your body spends almost all the time for continuous contact with the device.

He honestly seems like a terrible designer, which seems corroborated by him doing nothing of remote interest outside of Apple and barely inside it. The items that are regarded as design epochs, like the iPod, we're not his.

Finally, now I know I'm not the only one! These sharp edges constantly cut into my wrists to the point I was thinking of doing the same, or glueing some kind of kind soft padding to the edges. Great someone did it. I wonder how far can you cut them?

Savage.

OMFG I am so glad to hear I am not the only one! The stupid thing hurt my wrists on the white Macbook generation so I shaved it off so it wasn't so sharp.

Love it, this is the ultimate laptop sticker.

I dealt with sharp edges issue by investing in an Andar leather case. Works just as well.

If instead you sharpen the corners it's a security mechanism.

I would remove material from the outside edges of the front, not the center near the trackpad. The blue edges of my M2 air have already become silver and the palm rests have become more silver and glossy like glass from wear. I'm probably going to do something like this.

This seems like a reasonable choice, but man you really need to do this with a CNC mill. The craftsmanship is not there.

yay

I hate this But I also understand Still I hate this

> I file the sharp corners off my MacBooks. People like to freak out about this

The fact that any conscious human being has the time or energy to be "freaked out" about someone futzing around with their own devices is astounding to me.

Looks terrible, I love it

I’m now wondering how difficult it would be to polish one to a mirror finish.

I'm now painfully aware of how uncomfortable the edge of my mac is.

Not seriously... I too love the sharp edges but this is scary.. Lol

> Don't be scared. Fuck around a bit.

Damn good advice.

Apple users always convincing themselves they are still using the best premium most thought after designs of all time.

> Don't be scared. Fuck around a bit.

Preach.

Bet this person never heard about FAFO
