I just unboxed my new 13" retina and i thought I heard a rattle inside the case. In trying to replicate it I noticed that if I hold the macbook with the lid open and sway it side to side or tilt it laterally back and forth it sounds like the keys are loose. It's basically making a faint noise as I move it back and forth.

Is this normal?

Kinda what is being reported here:

Just wanted to hear from anyone else who has a new RMBP 13"

No issue here.
 
I have the issue when I pick my MacBook up and rotate it 90 degrees to be perpendicular with the ground. It sounds like a very slightly loose chicklet style keyboard. Not something in concerned with.

Thank you, guess I'll be going back to Best Buy then.
