Hi guys. I was using 13 inch MacBook Pro Mid 2015 for a year. But recently bought the 15 inch MacBook Pro Mid 2015(custom configured to 512GB SSD) which is still under the return period. Right out the box I could feel the display hinge isn’t as tight as the 13-inch, shakes bit easily. The trackpad is equally sensitive but have a bit softer vibration feedback for the click(for the same clickiness setting in System Preferences->Trackpad) and the same thing for the keyboard too. The keys are are softer in feedback(not wobbly) compared to the 1 year old MacBook Pro 13 inch. Considering I’ve spent a hefty amount for this machine and will be definitely using it for 5 years max, Should I worry,
 


1. whether the display hinge will become even more looser overtime?

2. whether the keyboard will lose it’s original feedback soon and the same with trackpad too? 


First of all I’m not sure whether the Apple Tech guys will agree to my claims and just think I’m crazy.
Second of all by requesting a replacement, Am I just wasting my time because again I may get a device with something else? 

What do you guys say?

PS: The date written on the back of the box(which I guess is the manufacturing date) is 12/2016.

I do a lot of tech work for Macs. I've never come across one with a failed hinge or keyboard. That is outside of the owner dropping it or spilling something. The last I've seen with any build quality issues as far as the case is concerned is the old White Macbooks. Where the palmrest area near the hinges would crack, a merely cosmetic issue.
