The laptop's body bends when I open the top cover (see the side view). It looks like the right hinge isn't firmly attached to the laptop's body (top view). Everything on the left looks okay, though.

Is this normal for T410s laptops?

Mine doesn't do that, so I would say "No". Are your hinges very stiff?

I have a T400 with a left hinge that does that... But only because it's been dropped and has had part of the frame break. (i.e. the palmrest is taking up some of the slack now)

Don't think that's normal on a new machine.

got it fixed. thanks for info.
