    Hey guys,

    Got my XPS 13 (2015) yesterday and the touchpad started driving me mad before I even finished Windows setup.

    The touchpad feels loose at the front and rattles/knocks as it bottoms out every time you place your finger on it or tap to click (not a press down, just tapping).

    Is this normal for the model? I'm used to being able to silently tap a touchpad!

    I've also noticed the spacebar seems to be curved/sunk slightly towards the front centre which seems odd?
