    Is your X220T screen's angle slightly off?

    I just got my X220T recently and I noticed that the default 'locked' position of the display is slightly off: the left side is a few mm closer to the keyboard than the right. It's extremely annoying when I use the laptop for long periods, because I keep noticing the angle.

    Has anyone else noticed anything similar with their X220T? Is there anything I can do to adjust it? I've called Lenovo, and I can ship it back to have it adjusted, but I'm a little leery about having it opened up...

    Just an update on this: I sent my X220T back to have the screen readjusted. It came back with a note saying "Hinge ASM Broken non-plastics/user damage". The "user damage" bit is really odd, because it's a brand new laptop and almost unused.

    Sadly, although the skew was improved it's still a little off. Any opinions on whether I should try and send it back, or is the skew something I can fix myself (i.e. is the hinge a user-adjustable part)? It's pretty disappointing that the laptop would be delivered like this.

    If you don't feel comfortable with it, return it and re-order. I personally wouldn't really want to tinker with a new machine if I thought something was wrong with it.

    Reorder. There's no reason not to with delivery times being so short for new machines now.
