    Heya guys,

    I've been posting here quite frequently on the new laptop I got, luckily I fixed the HD integrated graphics crashing issue.

    I am noticing, when I rest my right palm on the right palm rest of the laptop, I hear a slight creak when putting slightly more pressure than just resting my palm on it. It's nothing major but am concerned about the longevity of this. I do have the at home service plan.

    Anyone else have is issue?

    Tried to tighten the screws on the bottom a bit.

    That could work. We could also send it to our depot to have it checked. It does seem like something is just loose.
