    Hey guys...

    Just received my HP Mini 1030NR and love the way it looks, size, everything..EXCEPT....that I have noticed a distinct vibration in the wristpad area on both sides.

    As I was adding anti-virus and tweaking as I usually do, I noticed this vibration and wonder if this is an issue with SSD-based laptops.

    Has anybody experienced this?

    I need to add that I noticed this as I was setting it up. It seems after downloads from Microsoft and Super Anti Spyware ended, the vibration decreased or ended.

    I just want to make sure that vibration is not a known issue for SSDs, or maybe it is just this computer.

    It seems much better now. What could have caused the vibration before?

    The vibration is back now that I'm doing the Microsoft Update. :(

    The 1030NR has gone back to buy.com.

    I'm replacing it with a 1033CL with a standard 60GB HD but the 10.2 screen with 1024 x 600 instead of the 1024 x 576 the 1030NR offers.

    I really think the subtle vibration came from the SSD. I couldn't get used to it.
