    Mine had a bulge on the bottom, at the edge of the removable panel. Turned out to be the antenna cable for the WWAN card, trapped between the panel and the chassis. Screwed down by whoever built it so that the panel is slightly bent (but the antenna isnt nicked).

    For the keyboard bulge it might be worth looking for something similar, if you're happy to open it up. For the lid I'm less sure - I wouldn't fancy taking the lid apart on such a new machine, would rather get Dell to sort it.

    I had a slight bulge in the front bezel just above the microphone. I was able to just snap it into place by pushing.
