    Hello,

    I recently flew from Hong Kong to Tokyo on a business trip a week ago. When I got to the hotel in Tokyo all was fine- the laptop was steady on the table.

    Then I threw it in a briefcase and flew back to HK. When I got back the laptop was no longer steady on any table- the bottom-left corner is slightly elevated and now wobbles. It doesn't look like there's any problem with the rubber feet though- they all look alike and none are missing.

    The laptop still works perfectly fine- I'm just wondering whether it's a common problem (and/or design flaw)- never had this problem on my previous SZ. I'll probably swap it @ sonystyle though.

    No one? Sony won't swap it as it's a 'minor cosmetic issue'. Well it's not and it's really getting on my nerves (whenever I type the entire thing tilts to one corner). I can actually see a <2mm gap in the corner.

    Anyone have this issue?
