Hi all,
I got my MBP today and im just checking it out giving it the once over.
Ive noticed that when i push the plastic hinge in on the back it creaks/pops.
It doesnt make a sound when i open and close it at the moment.
My question is, is this hinge bad and going develop into a creaking sound when i open it further down the line, or am i being silly?
Thanks.
 
Thanks but that hasnt answered my question, its not creaking yet but it creaks when i push the plastic myself, im wondering if everyones does that.
 
Instead of probing your MBP in weird ways, why not just use it as a computer? This isn't Facebook in the flesh, stop poking it.

Mine does the same thing. Think about this for a second, it's a plastic part on a metal frame. The plastic Apple used for this part is not soft plastic, it's a harder type, so it will creak when pushed against metal.
