I’ve been thinking about getting a MacBook since before the new aluminum ones were recently announced. I’d like make sure that welcoming my first Mac into my barnyard of computers will go as smoothly as possible and without any regrets. However, since this is the first release of a new laptop case design from Apple, I expect there will be some issues as is the usual case for first-run Apple products.

Already, a few issues have been reported in a few forums.

• The battery/HDD cover doesn’t close flush against the case or has gaps.
• Problems with connecting external displays via DVI or VGA.

The Apple Defects wiki hasn’t reported any issues yet with the new late-2008 MacBooks or MacBook Pros, but I’m sure they will trickle in as the year wraps up. Are any of you dear readers unfortunate victims of defects in the new MacBook/Pros?

Update 10/4/2008: Looks like the trackpads are having issues now.
