    Just got my HP laptop yesterday and noticed one noticeable flaw.

    Near the top right hand area of the keyboard, a lot of the keys slope up and down sorta instead of being a completely flat surface, kind of like a wave.

    Has anyone else had a problem like this? There was only one of these left in stock, I thought maybe someone took it back because of this.

    Hmmm...it is possible that the wireless card wires and LCD cables are not seated correctly, which would explain the bulge in your keyboard.

    Are you comfortable removing the keyboard and posing a picture of what you see inside?

    Hmm, probably not. I'm really bad at taking computers apart, let alone a laptop which i've never used before.

    It's not too big of a problem. The keys don't lift up enough to be able to touch the screen when I close the lid. And typing is still pretty easy.


    Another problem i've had is that when I use the volume slider above the keyboard, the computer freezes for about a minute.
