    Hi, just got mine a few days ago, rfb, and ive noticed some flex in the lid, at the bottom, in the black part when closed.

    Its worrying me a bit, i dont feel secure when carrying me, is annoying.

    Is that normal or should I worry?
    Thanks in advance.

    A bit of flex is normal. Keep in mind that the screen chassis is still made by plastic and not with a reinforced magnesium-alloy roll-cage like some of the Lenovo Thinkpads. I wouldn't worry too much about it and just try and avoid carrying the laptop by it's screen. If you're taking your G51VX on a trip, make sure you put your laptop in a neoprene sleeve or a bag with sufficient cushioning to ensure proper protection while on the road.

    Ok thanks....
    Its just that it doesnt seem normal to me, since its a refurbished product and it literally sinks when i push it, with just a little strength, nothing.
