    Is my MSI Creator P65 9SD bent?

    I just purchased a refurbished MSI. To my surprise the entire chassis seems to have a slight bend to it. Not sure if this is a design feature (airflow?) or manufacturing flaw. Seems a bit strange, screen sits flush against the front but is also bent.

    Think it's meant to be flat. It shouldn't be bent like this. It looks like it was sat on upside down. Some of the keys look like they're gonna pop off too from the stress of that bend. It's definitely not a design feature.

    That laptop is bent, send it back if you can still return it.

    Thanks for the replies. Looked strange to me but I didn't have access to another one to compare and online pics didn't clear my doubts. It's being returned, hopefully, the next one arrives without any flaws.
