    Hi all,

    Just picked up my NP700Z5A-S05UK from JL and after getting it home I noticed the that there is a gap of around 1 to 2 mm all the way along the bottom of the screen between the display and bezel.

    I am basically talking about the metal bezel where the name Samsung appears. It does not appear very sturdy at all and you can easily put your finger nail in the gap and pull/bend the lower bezel outwards. (Obviously I haven't done this!) Just seems not the well-built for a £1000 system and I have seen a lot of laptops in my time.

    I am going to call JL tonight to ask them to look at the one in the store and see if it is the same. In the meantime would be great to hear from any of you as obviously they can check one and on here I could get feedback on many more. Do you have a gap all the way along this bezel/screen? The left, right and top are a much tighter fit, it is just the lower bezel that concerns me.

    Many thanks

    Arctic

    I don't have that problem - all sides of my bezel/screen are uniform and nice and tight.
