    Got no pics to show it but these are the issues:

    -The power button is slightly to the left. The alienFX lighting gets messed because its only on one side of the power button.

    -The hinge may be a problem. I did the paper test. The paper is NOT free to slide out between screen / keyboard.

    The webcam is a bit of center on the inside (behind glass) but its fine. That i dont care about.

    Should I return ?

    I would, are you kidding? How much did you pay for that? You're paying premium prices, demand premium quality.
