    Any idea what to do about annoyingly loose battery which rattles on new SZ4 - it works OK but is annoying on an otherwise great notebook ?

    You can ask it to be replaced, though it might be a problem of the laptop itself.

    When I had an earlier model of the S series I stuck some cardboard to the battery where it slots into the computer. This fills up the gap and stops the rattling.
