Nope. Mine's fine.

Same here. Fine.

No problem here...

Well, now it isn't. My PB is weird

Just a quick question... My new PB15 is flawless(ish) and I can't be happier EXCEPT that the bottom right 2-3 keys on the keyboard were sticking up. As in raised above the height …

It's a common problem with these machines: poorly-installed keyboards. See, for example, these threads on Apple's boards: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...2W.1@.599ba00d a…
