I did this on the macs at an old job, but not as drastic. It really doesn’t need much to ..ahem… take the edge off.

It was oddly satisfying taking a file to my MacBook when a drop lifted a nasty burr on the edge.

Very minor "you can just do things" collides with the "infallible object" presence that Apple wants for its products - almost feels "wrong", but it's a nice norm to break.

(and I'm not a "Cult of Mac" guy)

Ah man, I hate how sharp the edges are. Good solution

Another thing that multiple generation of MacBook Airs used to do is constantly be running (sometimes quite painful) amounts of electricity through your wrists if they accidentally touched the metal.

Not sure if the Apple Silicon devices have the same issue - but it was consistent through at least 3 different generations.

That's some really poor filing job :D but yeah custom tools is the way to go

The clearest demonstration that the knife edge is dumb is that there isn't a similar sharp edge around the exterior.

Maybe it’s the lighting, but that doesn’t look even on both sides to me - that’d bother me more than the sharpness.

This is the spicy content I come here to read. I wouldn’t do it myself but god speed to anyone who does.

I'd like to see some side-by-side before and after photos

Fans of My Mechanics on YouTube will chuckle at this.

The channel’s Swiss host is famous for removing sharp edges from metal things.
