got my new laptop. i only have one issue. the track pad even when touching very lightly the bottom side rattles. its as if the assembly is loose or missing springs.
has anyone had this issue?
This sounds like a hardware issue. Could you contact Support for a replacement Input Cover?

I believe that Iām running into this issue as well. Iāve contacted support.
Other than this, the laptop has been flawless so far. Contacting support is oddly something Iām excited about given how good of experiences everyone has had with it.

I think I have a similar issue at hand; the trackpad bottom rattles, but only when the laptop is on a hard and even surface. Since I mostly use it in bed these days I didnāt notice this before. It might have something to do with the bottom left corner of the trackpad sitting about 1mm lower than the rest, indicating a misalignment. On the one hand Iām hesitant to bother support with it when their answer is probably āreinstall your input coverā, on the other hand Iād like to make sure itās documented that the issue wasnāt caused by me doing thatā¦
edit: contacted support just to be sure
I am having the same issue. Could you guys get the problem resolved? If yes, what was the solution? Or is a little rattling just normal?
Iām not sure if this is an issue with my touchpad, or just the way it is - does anyone else find the touchpad really ārattle-yā?
At first I thought it was Macbook-esque āforce touchā haptic feedback that was too biased towards the bottom, but no itās just physically shaking (too much freedom pre-click) when I tap to click.
Itās pretty annoying, makes tap to click barely worth it since it still feels & sounds like itās clicking. (It requires less force than actually clicking of course, but it baffles me that anyone does that!)
I tap lightly; it only doesnāt happen if I tap (lightly) on the top quarter. On the bottom, where it actually has the click mechanism if you wanted to use it, itās extremely pronounced.
I had a couple of rattley episodes in the first couple of days, almost like a spring pinging and rattling when I clickedā¦ I havenāt noticed it recently and Iām just hoping the problem has fixed itselfā¦
@nrp Sure, will do - just wanted to check if it was expected behaviour.
(Also I did try to search for any existing threads about itā¦ apparently I did a terrible job of that and now I see Discourse has found and linked a couple. 
. Sorry for the noise.)
