Hi All

I just received by new 1530 and on close inspection it seems to have what look like a couple of indents/scratches on the power bezel.

After spending over 1300 on a laptop I cant help but feel this is unacceptable. They almost look like screwdriver marks! at first I thought there was a plastic cover over the bezel but this does not appear to be the case.

Has anyone else experienced this and should I ring dell and ask them for a replacement bezel, providing it is easily replaceable as on the older insipiron/latitude

Comments appreciated,

They are really easy to get a replacement for. I think it costs Dell very little as they send these with other replacement just in case scratches happen. For motherboard replacements etc...

Just spoke to support and they are going to send be out a replacement bezel, does not say alot for their quality control though.

At least the support is top notch, they even offered me a new system.
