That's not normal. The hard drive is not audible on the MacBook, and that includes the "clicking" noise you would ordinarily hear on other lappys while the disk is being accessed. The only thing I hear during regular use is the almost inaudible whirring of the fan.
Thing is, in order for the air to get performance wise close to the macbook you'd need to drop almost 1000$ I don't think it's really worth it at this time.
Now, what have you learned?
Lol, true - you probably learned a valuable lesson from all of this.
I've heard about so many people with the loose battery problems.
Both sam223 and Dybbuk need to go to an Apple Store and try exchanging their MacBooks.
Mine was given to me as a courtesy replacement for a 14 month old white MacBook with no AppleCare. Not sure I want to push my luck haha
Wait, who gave it to you?
Apple. I can't say any more than that. Frankly, I've already said too much.
I'm no rich guy. I'm just a grad student that needs more than Windows to get work done. I could have gone cheaper, but after putting hands on the new brickbook I think that I made a good decision.
Now, what have you learned?
I learned not to be a dummy and leave my Macbook on top of the car.

Yeah it is strage. well I had heard it when waking up once. But it was constant last night. I'll repost tonight when i get home and see if it acting normal and quiet again.

Unfortunately, my Apple rep tells me that the hard drives will chirp and some people might hear it. You really can't make a dead silent laptop. There are things spinning and motors running inside. However, depending on how sensitive your hearing is, you might or might not hear it.
Now i have to agree that if you have a noise that is out of the ordinary DEFINITELY get it taken care of and don't overlook it.
I just bought mine a couple days ago, i cant put this down!
I have had PCs for many years...and i will NEVER go back.
