I just received my MBA yesterday via Fedex. Gotta say I really love this machine, but I have only one problem. The clicker right below the trackpad feels a bit 'wobbly' and when I click on the button with my thumb, I don't get a solid click but rather a 'ca-click' type feeling. I hope I make sense. I've seen this issue on a few macbook pros and powerbooks but never on an ibook or macbook. Maybe it's the metal and the way it's assembled.

Anyway, I'm wondering if this is normal for Macbook Airs, maybe some of you other MBA owners can shed some light on the matter. The Apple Store is a bit far away from where I live, and I'd hate to waste a trip there only to have the genius look at and say it's perfectly normal.

Exactly the same for mine. It feels more plastic - y than the macbook pro's that I used to own.

some concessions must be made to get it that thin.

Before I returned the mba, it was great but I do remember the clicker being clanky and not a solid click, 1 of the things that I didnt like.
