Whats up with my macbook case?

[Beowulf666]

for some reason, whenever i press on the side of my macbook case, along the side with the USB ports and headphone jack etc, it sounds like its either loose or not put together properly, and theres quite a few spots along my macbook that are like that. I don't even have to press hard, just when i pick it up i hear/feel it, and its really annoying me. Anyone else have this problem?

This is a very well known problem/design flaw of the MacBook. Those two screws you see on that side? Yeah, those don't do anything and they aren't screwed in to anything. They are there simply for looks. The side of mine bends in a little, but not nearly as much as the ones at my school, so I'm happy.

I think the screws do SOMETHING. Cause I'd prefer my MacBook without them, they look ugly. So Apple must've put them there for something, other than the look cause it looks ugly as hell.

im ok that link worked when i posted it,the whole point of that link is to tell people
those screws are there for one reason and one reason only to make it look good
there purely cosmetic and dont screw into anything hence squishy

EDIT: try the link again later the site must have problems

My MacBook has that squishy problem too (it's the November Revision), except it doesn't make a sound when I do it. Oh well, I find it barely noticeable only when I press on it, so it's not a big issue for me.

EDIT- When I tapped both sides with my index finger, I found that the left side sounded hollow, and the right side (non-squishy side) did not.
