Doesn’t happen to mine in USA at all and my houses wiring is very old.

  Do you have any idea how little this means, despite repeating it in at least 2 comments I've seen so far? Am I going to see a 3rd and 4th copy of this same comment further down? It means nothing at all. It also has nothing to do with the age of your house wiring. Congradulations on either winning the binning lottery, or simply being insensitive to the sensation. The number of people reporting the phenomenon are not all hallucinating, nor all doing something wrong that you're doing right. You simply got a slightly better unit. Or actually possibly a worse one, since the cause is actually good insulation, and a slight leak (contamination like leftover flux or an old spilled drink or literally anything like dust or a bug on the pcb surface bridging traces) could be what's keeping your case drained to neutral rather that building up a charge. Manufacturing variance is the most uninteresting non-mystery in the world. Different people's different levels of sensitivity or perceptiveness is also a non-mystery. "Why don't I feel it?" For a hundred possible reasons, none of which are "because the problem doesn't exist"

    The question is, does the problem exist in a normally functioning unit? Am in the majority or the minority here? If I’m in the majority, and most people don’t have this problem, then I think it seems like an unfair generalization to say with certainty that all macs have this problem which is what some commenters seem to imply. I was trying to debunk the idea going around here that all Macbooks do this because they dont.
