Macbook pro new wobble on flat surface

It wasn't designed like that.

You have a 'sample defect' (a problem that affects only your sample of the product). If the surfaces you are using are actually flat, and all the feet are in place, and the case top and bottom are not separating, you should have your unit serviced. If you can use an Apple-owned store, your appointment for an evaluation is free.

I have the exact same problem. Even on a flat surface it's actually worse. It's so uneven it's ridiculous. It wobbles every time I type. One side is about half a centimeter off the floor at all times. I have to jam a bit of plastic under one side every time I use it. I don't know WHY it was designed like this.

If you have the exact same problem then the table surface is not flat. Try a known flat surface. I also do not know why your table was designed like that. The computer was not designed like that.

Try it on a known flat surface like a granite kitchen countertop.

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Try checking the desk with a straight edge on side or a level.

Check for additional signs of a swollen battery. Look especially for a widening gap along the front center in front of the spacebar where the top meets the chassis.

If you find such evidence, make an appointment for an evaluation. If you have an Apple store, your evaluation is free, in warranty or out.

Sorry. My description was not very good.

Try this: Between the top cover and the bottom cover where they meet at the "closet to you" section of the laptop, along the front edge. The battery is under the trackpad and if it were swelling would tend to push on the top and bottom and open that seam slightly.

If it doesn't wobble on certain surfaces, that suggest to me that your desk is not completely flat. Use a spirit level to check.

A level is not really going to help. The problem is that the surface is not in one plane.
