It\u2019s a mistake to assume that every component belonging to a MacBook Pro would be made out of the same robust unibody aluminum as the portable Mac\u2019s chassis, but some owners need to learn the hard way. On the latest occasion, one intrepid individual decided to give his expensive M5 Pro\u00a0machine a nice makeover by applying a dbrand skin. The only problem was that, in the person\u2019s infinite wisdom, a hair dryer was used to keep that skin in place, resulting in the arrow keys completely warping.<\/p>\n

A metal like aluminum is designed to effectively absorb and dissipate heat, which is Apple\u2019s material of choice when using it in the latest iPhones and, of course, its high-end MacBook Pro series. However, the scissor-switch keys on these premium machines continue to be made of plastic and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future, which is why it\u2019s not a great idea to bring any kind of head source towards them.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that, even when discounted by $200 on online retailers like Amazon, the base configuration will still set you back by $1,999<\/strong>, so it\u2019s probably a good idea to keep this hardware free from nasty experiments. In the owner\u2019s defense, he likely wanted to give his pricey purchase a decent amount of protection from car keys and other sharp objects by applying a dbrand skin.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, he didn\u2019t do a particularly excellent job in applying the skin, leaving creases on the wrist rest area. Trusting his instinct, he grabbed a hair dryer and the rest is history. Now that the damage is done, what are the M5 Pro MacBook Pro owner\u2019s options? According to some replies, Apple sells…<\/p>\n
