New Macbook Air 13' Weird Flex

chompy73 · Mar 30, 2013, 08:15 PM

I just brought a macbook air (my first mac) and its great but the bottom of its case seems to have a weird amount of flex in the center that makes a bit of noise. Is this normal?

Cheers.

Just run it by the Apple Store. They likely just need to tighten the screws o the bottom.

Thanks for the replies.

So everybody else's has no flex/sound on the bottom of the case underneath the space bar?

I didnt think it was right, especially for a mac. just my luck that I have a faulty unit.
