    on my last couple of laptops i usually remove the battery whenever im plugged in using AC.. but on my recently purchased e1505, one of the rubber feet is located on the battery itself. this wouldnt be so bad, except i tend to type pretty hard, so the laptop wobbles quite a bit with only 3 rubber feet supporting underneath. also trying to use a notebook cooler which lifts the back up becomes a problem as well.

    just wondering how you guys deal with this? leave the battery in while on AC? DIY attached rubber feet? thx.

    I had a similar problem. I went to the hardware section of Wal-mart, and they have these clear plastic feet (think it is made by 4M). You should be able to find it near the rope and feet for the furniture. It worked out pretty good on my system, but i pulled off all the remaining feet, and replaced them with the clear ones.
