    Got my new Z-Series today and have to say I completely amazed. I have never seen one of these in person and bought it from looking at pictures and the reviews here... All I can say is WOW! But overshadowing all of my excitement is a stupid squeaky palm rest... Does any one else have this problem? It is the right corner... any pressure exerted near it makes a stupid squeak or creeking noise. I thought maybe it was just a loose screw and I tried tightening it but it just spins and spins :( Not really a good sign.... the plastic is able to wiggle and move slightly. So I was wondering if this is normal because it is right where the optical drive is or am I just smokin somethin and don't want to admit that its broke?
