The Squishy MacBook Issue

The 2 screws on the leftmost side of the MacBook are cosmetic-only, meaning they do not hold the case tightly. This creates a "squishy" left side, and a clicking sound when pressed

okay, you obviously did something to it because half the people here don't have it. I just checked it by the way I have a MacBook Pro and it doesn't click. So mabye you should take care of your computer or something.

It's the MacBooks, not the MacBook Pros.

There are 2 screws in the battery compartment that just need to be tightened. They are right next to the battery terminal.

mine has been doing thaat since day one and it pisses me off because this damn thing cost just shy of 1600$!!!! not to mention that the top case where the track pad is, is detaching from the bottom case!, and the hinge creaks when i open it sometimes and aswell the bottom case near the hinge is starting to crack! and when i push down on the left side it makes and irritating clicking noise and the side case pops out! I almost witched to an hp notebook

Mine doesn't make a click. It makes a rubbing noise. If anything, my case is warped, making discs nearly impossible to insert in the disk drive, and to get them out, I have to pry the plastic up and tilt the laptop on it's side to get the disk out. My thumbs always hurt afterwards.

mine does this but not as bad as the one in this video, plus there's no clicking sound and my macbook seems to be holding together pretty well
