agreed: "Plate around keyboard is prone to cracking (& staining yellow from the natural oils in our skin) due to weak plastic in my opinion. I was told by MacTivate (Authorised Repair Centre) that the magnets above the screen are too strong and when you close the mac it is too much of a force on the bottom plastic plate. Both are well known issues. Overall I think the casing is weak"

new pro/con: Plate around keyboard is prone to cracking (& staining yellow from the natural oils in our skin) due to weak plastic in my opinion.
