    I bought a Toshiba Netbook NB205 from Best Buy and the battery 'jiggles' when inserted fully and locked. Not a lot, but enough to notice it.. Wondering if this is normal?

    For those that have purchased this Netbook, is there any play at all in your battery once inserted and locked?

    Thanks.

    MJ - Yes - not only is the battery on mine a little loose - but it drains power while completely shutdown. The power drain isn't too bad - so far around 8-10% per day. It's still a nice little system - but had I known about the battery drain and the fact that it only has one speaker - I would not have bought it ... :(

    My battery fits snugly. No "play."
