    Hello. I just received my new HP Verve laptop yesterday and I love it! I ordered it from Amazon.com and it arrived in 2 days with free shipping.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=278240701&pf_rd_i=507846

    When I opened it, everything looked good. The rubber stopper on the right side of the display was a little crooked (fine), but on the left side of the display, I noticed that the plastic frame feels loose. You can sort of wiggle the plastic. You cannot separate the frame - it just doesn't feel solid. I mean, it's solid at the very top and the bottom, but the right side is solid throughout.

    I did notice the security lock is on this side, and my only guess is that this side has to be looser because the lock is there? Maybe that's how they get to the screen if the laptop ever needs to be repaired? Is this just a common occurence with this type of plastic casing?

    Anyone else notice this? Is this just crazy talk? Should I be concerned that the frame is going to one day fall apart on me?

    I've included a picture in case you have no idea what area of the computer I'm talking about.

    Super glue? I don't think you need to worry about it.
    If your paranoid, could you get an exchange or something?
