    After having HP/Compaq notebooks for the last several years I decided to go with Sony this time. I got the VGN-NW270F model.

    Overall I'm really pleased with it. I especially love this keyboard style. I do a ton of typing and this keyboard is just great.

    This is not so much a complaint as a question. I've never noticed this on other laptops before so maybe this is common to all, or maybe it's common to Sony or this particular model, not sure. But the chassis around the screen doesn't feel tight.

    I noticed this when closing it the other night. It's not falling apart or separating or anything, but it just doesn't feel snapped/glued (whatever) in place. Also, on the left and right sides below the screen, it kind of pushes out a little. You can feel it, and only slightly see it if you're really looking.

    I know this seems like a minor issue (if even that) so I'm not complaining. I'm just curious as to whether this is normal or if it's something that could potentially get worse.

    So...anyone with this or similar models (or I guess any laptop) noticed this?

    Thanks

    I have this issue too with my NW. It doesn't exactly push out on the sides but you can definitely push the bezel IN. A little too loose for my liking but it doesn't bother me because I've gotten used to opening the lid in such a way that I don't damage the bezel.
