Hey all- I just got the MBP Retina, and while its display is pretty much blowing my mind, when my hand is on the trackpad and music is playing, you can literally feel the bass. I never experienced that on any of my many other MBP's. Anyone else get annoyed by this and eventually get used to it?
Got a tip for us?

The bass on the new rMBP is definitely punchier and tighter. I personally love it, but I'm also a basswhore. But nothing like shaking the way you described it (but I also have a huge subwoofer under my desk and I blast that all day). If it starts shaking, you shoudl probably turn it down lol
can't say I've ever heard of anyone saying a laptop had too much bass. that is a good complaint to have!
Are we talking about the same Macbook Pro Retina model? Bass? What are you talking about?
Maybe we have different definitions of bass. My response to the comment about the MBPr having amazing sounding speakers is as follows: "Yes, the frequencies that are present sound fantastic."

I think my ears started to bleed before the bass was annoying or even really detectable to my ears over the other sounds. But yeah, the machine did vibrate, because that's what sound is, you know, a vibration.
