    My screen on my r3 m11x.... well to explain it, when it is closed there is a small gap with the screen, the part where the screen connects with the hinges. I know it is supposed to have little clearance. One side has more clearance than the other... I really need a new screen and keyboard anyways.. might get em both replaced.

    My R3 has uneven clearance where the screen meets the hinges too. also where my hinges close on the right and left on the edges of the hinges where the black plastic meets the bottom chassis, they are slightly uneven but I'd say we are talking millimeter differences here.

    I think these small M11x will all have their own little traits but it's all part of the construction. I guess small gaps and uneven parts are the nature of how they are put together, like how tight one part is clipped before another etc.. some will be better than others.

    Tbh I was really picky with my R3 when it arrived because my R1 original had gaps everywhere!

    I've just learned to embrace my R3's little quirks and enjoy it :D
