    My Sony SZ650 looks fine, I would think they would as long as it isn't a refurbished system.

    BTW I also don't remember seeing anything wrong with my SZ320's paint job.

    This is kind of common. Back in the day my S260 had a bad paint job. Recently (a year ago) a TXN27 had a air bubble on the palmrest.

    The catch was that, since I've swapped 3 TXNs to get to a screen I can live with, I didn't want to return it to amazon for yet another TXN that might have a worse screen than the laptop with the air bubble, so I've sent it in to Sony Repair Center. They've replaced the palmrest, no questions asked.
