    Hi, I am hoping to get some information about the build of the 1330. On the right side of the notebook where the expresscard and slot drive are can you press down above the expresscard (while the computer lid is open) area and will it flex and press down or is it solid and unmoveable? Basically, when I press down on the area of the palmrest right at the edge over the expresscard opening, the whole structure moves down and flexes. I hope I have expressed myself clearly. I can press down between the edge of the computer and the fingerprint reader and the area give way and I hear a clicking sound. I don't know if this is normal or if there is something wrong. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have! TIA.

    Good thought. I think either Best Buy and/or Staples might have the 1330. I shall go on a roadtrip, lol!

    Hi, I checked at the local Dell kiosk and there is a bit of the same issues but not as much. I guess I will have to think about getting them to replace it, sigh....
