    I have seen a few comments on the forums, about this. But want to know if anyone else has had the same.

    Today my 2 week old laptop was closed, put into a fully padded laptop bag, Velcro strap over to hold it in place. Nothing else in the bag. Put in car, drove 80 miles, took out of car and setup. It noticed a small mark on the screen right where the screen folds down to the track pad. It seems the Back ridge of the track pad, has pushed onto the screen creating this mark.

    No external pressure was applied to the laptop. Surely this should not happen.

    Thoughts?

    When the notebook sit inside close tight casing, even if you holding it on the middle area of the lid, the lid will bend and touch the keyboard and the line below the touchpad. It adviseable to use soft foam or cloth to cover the keyboard/touchpad keyboard if you put inside the case.

    this is known issue.
