Hey folks,

I just noticed the top case (the part with the touch pad) is loose on the bottom left corner (opposite side of the battery). Anyone else have this problem? I'm kind've bothered by it.

Thanks

Yep, mine too. And every other one I've ever tried out before. The case itself is, for some unknown reason, not perfectly flush on that corner. Does yours squeak a little bit when you lean on it?

Yeah, all the newer ones I've played with, including my newest, are like that, my oldest (G3 dual-USB Snowflake) is rock solid. Appears to be a change in the structure.

I've always thought that the iBook is the only Apple computer that has rather suspect quality issues... mine squeaks, the battery is somewhat loose etc
