    Has this issue been fixed in the newer m6ns?

    I read that the M6N has a keyboard that "flexes" and from that it can cause the notebook to shut itself off due to the battery loosening.

    Although I'm more curious if the keyboards still flex.

    Thanks.

    my 6wk old M6N shuts down if I lift it by grasping the right side .
    There is a nice lip that helps to lift it off flat surfaces but I keeep forgetting it turns off.
    My wifes method is to lift it one handed by the screen .
    It doesn't turn of when she does this but I cringe whenever I catch her doing this.
    BTW I am very impressed with this m/c which is my first laptop.
    I have used it side by side with a friends Dell 8600 and though the dells native resolution was higher , I found the M6n easier to read
