I'm considering an aluminum PB, and the seller sent me a couple photos showing the bend in the case s/he flagged in the ad for the computer. it's just above where you'd plug in a phone connector to get online...the bow is smooth, comes out about 1/8" and the overall length of the deformity seems about 1/2" or so. while I don't care about the cosmetic aspect of this bump, I am concerned about the loss of protection of inside components..moisture in the air, dust, etc...and the occasional unwanted coffee spill are all real-world hazards, and that bow could allow contaminants to sneak in. Cause for worry, or no big whoop? zc
