    I recently bought an X300. It was the last piece in the shop, so I bought the one on display. I saw the box, it's only 2 weeks old and the store isn't very popular, so I doubt it was heavly tried/played with.

    Anyway, I had it out of it's case today while driving. It was next to me in the passenger seat. I heard it rattling. I held it, shut it and it shuts; but slightly rattles when I apply pressure. It doesn't quite close as my T60, is this normal? Anyone else that has an X300 would like to share please?

    Hey man,
    I also have the x300 direct from Lenovo (ordered last week) and it rattles slightly when driving with it in the passenger seat. The one I checked out in a store did the same. I find it negligible compared to the quality of the rest of the machine, and I only hear the rattle when driving over bumps. ;)

    If you mean it doesn't shut tightly like other notebooks, then yes it does "rattle" a little, but it's not a build issue.
