    Yeah that's pretty normal for the FX laptops it seems. Mine (6831 FX) bulges a bit just below the space bar and I've read about similar bulges in various areas around the keyboard in a lot of posts/reviews. Not sure what causes it, but it seems having a slightly warped case around the keyboard is par for the course. It doesn't really bother me any more since I'm far more concerned about how awesome the thing runs ;)
