It doesn't look as bad as you describe. I am sure Dell will say it's within spec. Anyways, my hinges sit lower on both sides. There seems to be a lot of flex though, when I apply pressure on both inside parts of the hinges, I can flex the chassis to the point where both hinges are above the vents. I wouldn't be concerned about it.
Greetings! I have owned an Dell inspiron 7610 plus for 2-3 months now. Its seems that my top vent is bent a bit and is now slightly round, the laptop closes fine, but should I be concerned. I think the laptop vent might be like this cause of strong heat over big periods. I use it mainly for gaming. Thanks!
