    Hi. I recently purchased a Toshiba M100 - JG2 and I've noticed that the battery moves up and down slightly when I pick it up. Does anyone else have this problem? Could this be a problem for me in the future? Thanks.

    Depends on how bad it is. Some laptops are like that. You can try to talk to toshiba about it. Else you can put a piece of paper in there to make it less moving.

    Most A100s do it... I don't find it to be a big deal, they don't move a lot.

    I can confirm that at least 6 A100's do it so I conclude they are ALL like that. They are not "loose" but rather move up and down a millimetre. Doesn't bother me since it's "normal".

    The battery on my A100 moves too. There is no problem with the connections, so i don't worry about it.
