    when i got my m11x, i noted the left side creaked whenever i would lift it along it's left edge, or put my hand on it. it would click once, then stop. as well as this, i also mentioned the opaque plastic covering the wifi status lights was a little rattle -ey

    i bought my laptop through john lewis, instead of dell (have serious trouble ordering through the internet - when it comes to deliveries). could a creaking chassis be something dell would cover under their warrenty? it's no biggie, just a little irritating.

    The plastic covering the wifi status can be removed to become a glossy surface.

    it's the glossy surface that's rattling, as well as the matte upper closest to the edge of the laptop.
