    Could you clarify a bit more? Is it faded or similar?

    Dell is not going to replace your palmrest because of normal wear and tear. If you touchpad "stops working" then they'll give you a new palmrest, or if some of your keys actually "don't work", then they'll give you a replacement keyboard; but you're not going to be able to get any replacement parts under a normal warranty with just normal wear on the system.
