A215M - Finish on case is worn after three weeks

[drpellypo]

Hello,

I've had the above for about three weeks now, and where I rest my right palm, the finish on the case has almost completely worn away. It looks like there's just a mark on there, but if you look closelty, it looks like the surface has completely worn away, and the base colour is exposed. I've not used any cleaning products on it or anything, and the patch is about the size of a 5p piece. Is this normal? Should it have worn away so quickly?

In reality no, but a few A series users have said the finish doesn't stay long, which is bad news specially for the price.

VAIO Link won't do anything about it either.

I'm going to take it back to PC World tomorrow and demend they either replace it, or change the casing. Thanks for your info on the users reports, as this will be good fuel for my case, if it's a known issue. Tonight I've noticed the the section has gotten bigger and the finish has now completely worn away. For a £1300 laptop, developed by Sony, that's just not acceptable imo.

No, it's poor workmanship really.

Its a well known fact that sweat is very good for removing paint, and especially when u rest your hands on something they do sweat a bit, the letters came off my desktop keyboard in weeks! You would think they would compensate for this though!
