I have a 3-week old 12" powerbook that will not sit level on any surface. It would make sense, of course, if one of the rubber feet were missing, but all appear to be intact and of equal size, height, etc. I know i haven't dropped it or anything (I'd probably kill myself), in fact it's been babied quite a bit, so there shouldn't be any dents or what-not. Has anyone else dealt with this and is there any practical solution short of sending my pbook back to Apple? It's obviously not a serious problem and has no adverse effects on my pbook's performance, but it's just so gosh-darn annoying and it's getting to the point where i can't enjoy my computer anymore

Does it wobble from the near right corner to the far left corner?

If so, I think it has to do with the battery not sitting 100% flush with the case. If it really bothers you - shove a piece of paper under one of the feet.

My 12" iBook always wobbled a little bit.... it was the battery's fault, as it wasn't flush with the unit.
