Z2: Screen Wobble?

Hello Sony fans! I have a question for the Z2 owners in the crowd. I was considering getting a Z2 so I went to my local Microsoft Store to look at their version. I noticed while typing on the store model that the screen would wobble (front to back) some. This was especially the case if I used keys that were closer to the top row of keys.

I suspect this is happening either because:

A) The hinge was very loose on this store model due to people playing with it all the time.

B) This is just how this machine works due to the screen propping up the keyboard.

I also noticed that they keyboard deck seemed to have a small bit of flex to it. To be clear: I wasn't pounding down on the keys. I was trying to type with my normal typing style when I noticed this.

So my questions: Is this normal for a Z2 (i.e. "B" above) or is this just a store model issue ("A" above). Also - just for my own information is there any reason NOT to get the Microsoft Store version of a Sony Z (other than perhaps the ability to get a better price on CTO from time to time)?

Thanks!

I haven't noticed any wobble of my screen. Since the screen is being supported by the desk surface, I would think that the entire laptop base would need to be in motion in order to make the screen wobble.

My typing style is pretty light -- perhaps I'm not striking the keys hard enough to see what you saw.

 

No wobble here.

 

Mine is also fine.

 

The new Z has a pivoting rear aluminum strip, which shifts down when you open the Laptop to function as elevation feet. a less extreme version of the Dell Adamo XPS, that gives the keyboard a comfortable slope angle when on table for typing.

The body of the Z though is flex by design, that extends to the middle of the laptop which hang unsupported when the machine is elevated by the rear strip,
so when opened, you get about 2mm of down/up shift of the machine when you press the rear of the keyboard. Designers usually try to avoid this design flaw as it may gave the end users a lack of confidence inspiring during typing.

The keyboard has a very small redeeming features, the travel-landing feel is also with short throw, keystrokes for some time and u'll feel as if ur hammering on the unyielding table, that dose not affect the typing speed, but I do not like it.

 

Thanks for the follow-up everyone. It seems that either people don't notice the "wobble" or the flex is by design.

I'm still not sure how comfortable I am with a laptop that flexes like that. It's something I will need to think about.

Anyway - I really appreciate the feedback.
