I have similar black marks, but not where one would put your hands. I almost always use an external keyboard. They are opposite where the camera would be and I think it got wet or something. At first I thought it was chocolate of all...

Outlet has been good to me. A bit of a bulge on my laptop screen on one of my laptops, but for 50% off (incl 15% coupon), I don't mind. m1210 and m1330 from the outlet. Both running fine right now.
