18 Area-51 AA18250, slippery exterior!
As I've begun using my laptop I've realized the slippery exterior is a TERRIBLE design decision. I need to find a good solution to this issue or I feel certain something bad is going to happen. Anyone have any great suggestions.
Love the performance etc but the "too smooth exterior has got to go!

The only real solution is to return it for a refund, and order something that meets your needs.

Sorry, not really a viable solution. System all set up as needed and performance great.
I'm just looking for a way to rid the exterior of the laptop. Someone must have run into a similar situation.

I did a Google search for Area-51 AA18250 reviews and none mentioned, "slippery exterior" ? I also do not see any other Area-51 AA18250 user on our Forum mentioning this? Perhaps describe your usage.
