    Hey.

    My little round black rubber feet underneath my SZ4. Due to the flat surface of the SZ, it's difficult to pick up and it's so light so I can't help to push it around the desk alot and I just noticed the feet are rubbing away FAST like erasers/rubbers. :confused: Kack! Now what?

    The rubber feet on my Z1 lasted 3+ years with no issues. What you Brits use for desk surfaces over there? Sandpaper?

    um, try picking it up from the front? theres enough of a gap to get your fingers under and lift it. unless you have huge fat fingers

    Very helpful comments guys. :cool: Ha ha ha. I don't to keep on picking it up and having the chance to bang it when I put it back down again, so I slide it instead cause its safer that way.

    I am not looking at the bottom of my SZ but I remember noticing the other day that some of the rubber feet have come off all together. I am sure it wasn't because of the way I pick the notebook up. I think it is due to heat.
