There is no condition where you should have your forearm digging into the front edge of the laptop.

If you come up with a body shape and context and I guarantee you we can come up with a more comfortable way to position the laptop than anything requiring wrists bent downward.

This is not about the design of the Macbook: the same goes for any other laptop, however smooth and soft its front edge might be.

Maybe you shouldn’t do it. But it happens.

You also shouldn’t drive your car into other cars. But we still put seatbelts and bumpers on for those who do.

I misspoke in my original comment. What I should have said was "wrists" instead of forearms. I don't place my forearms on my machine.
