    Since the battery is more towards one side, say you put the notebook down on a flat surface, when you type, does it wobble?

    Nope, its just a little awkward if you use it on your lap.

    You do want to make sure that the tilt won't bother you. Personally, having that forward-tilt would kill my wrists.
