When my X60 is on a flat desk or other surface, the rubber pad closest to me on the right side is in the air about 2mm and every time I put pressure on the computer, it sits down on the surface and I hear a little sound. Any suggestions? I don't really want to just slap some tape or something on there that will eventually come off...

You might try loosening all the screws on the bottom of the laptop and then re-tightening. Sometimes the best way to re-tighten is to turn the screw until it meets tension, do the rest of the screws, then start tightening all the screws again until the screw feels tight/secure.

This might also be your issue:

Just give the rubber tabs on the bottom a tight squeeze and that should solve the problem.

Had the same thing with my X60 and even ordered new rubber pads, but wanted to give them a good pounding before I started ripping them off.

Problem solved.
