My R61 is only around 3 months old, but im noticing the lid doesn't close completely tight. Its a very small amount of wiggle, but i can notice it when i pick up my laptop and carry it to another room. Its mainly on the left side (side opposite of the opening latch). Is this normal? I tested the R61 out in my college's computer store and it had some wiggle when closed as well, maybe even more so than mine.
Also, if i push with a little amount of pressure on the plastic directly to the left of the tab key a sharp clicking noise is made. It appears that the body panel has a slight amount of "give" to it which makes the clicking nose and was wondering if anybody else with any thinkpad model has this problem?

The slight wobble is normal when the lid is closed.
Remember, the ThinkPads don't have any rubber pads between the lid and the "deck" so there has to been a bit of space between the parts. -
But what about this issue:
