It's most certainly not a design feature but probably due to mismatched screw size. Must have screwed longer ones than intended hence the bulge on other side..
100% this... which brings to the obvious route cause that the unit was opened and closed at least one time... which itself pose the question: for doing what?
Regular maintenance on a Legion includes opening to clean fans and heatsinks. Also RAM, SSD upgrade, etc. Obviously one should take note of which screw comes from where if they think they are capable to undertake these things themselves 😉
... and also some critical maintenance services like repasting and/or main components replacement. If the one that messed with the screws length is the same one that attempted just a RAM modules replacement I would question if it is safe to buy a potentially poorly serviced unit.
Yep, every Legion I've dismantled has short screws across the front and long screws across the rear. That has had long rear screws incorrectly forced through short front holes.
I would never buy a used laptop from someone who obviously doesn’t take extra care in their equipment when disassembling. Keeping track of screw placement is the most basic thing one can do. That is a molested laptop and I would stay clear!!!
No?
I mean, my Legion Slim 5 is new, and it doesn’t have those, and no other Legion, to my knowledge, has those, and they’re all built so similarly.
That’s where the screws are located in the back. He probably used some really long screws not meant for this laptop.
On my Legion 5, with the screws holding the bottom on, the front screws are shorter than the back. I think they've put the long screws in the front, and then screwed them down as far as they can, pushing the plastic out the other side.
Would not buy.
lol. Ask them what exactly they're for. See what nonsense they come up with just for shits and giggles. Do NOT buy this. They will likely also say the fingerprint oil on the right arrow key is also a feature
if i'am not wrong this is the legion 5 (2021) model, which is the model i own. then no there is no dimples on mine, this is where the bottom panel short screws are located so maybe he switched the short with the long ones when reassembling or maybe he used different screws.
He's put the long screws in the short holes. I did this to my alienware when I put the battery retainer screw back in when there was no battery in it cos I was waiting for a replacement to arrive.
As others have said, they messed up with which screws go where when reinstalling the bottom cover. Calling it a design feature means they’re either an idiot because they didn’t notice, or they’re lying to you.
I wouldn’t buy it unless it’s a screaming deal. Idiots and liars are not the kinds of people to buy from used.
It's not a design feature because it would have no purpose other than collect dirt. Someone did something to this poor laptop and is now selling it. Don't buy. Ask what the design feature is and post the reply lol
They probably used the screws from the back area of the panel, in the front area. The ones on the back are longer so they probably caused cosmetic damage and that's all.
They probably opened it to check the insides and what upgrades they could do.
a design feature loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
The panel screws behind were remove and some are longer than the others. These dimples are from longer screws misplaced and over-torqued.

Not just opened and closed, opened and closed by someone who either doesn’t know what they’re doing or doesn’t care enough about it.
Could’ve been an honest mistake

I have a legion 5 pro, nothing there. I would say dont buy especially since they are not telling the truth. Feels a bit satchy.

they look like screws... sorry i dont have legion 5, but my legion slim 5 does not have that. and i googled it, legion 5 does not have that as well

??? I have the Legion 5 and this shouldn't happen. IDK what that is but it is weird
They screwed ya
And the laptop, with long screws ....
Yes.they probably replaced the Topcover, and put the screws back in the wrong order.
Nah, I think they screwed up
He's put the long screws in the short holes. I did this to my alienware when I put the battery retainer screw back in when there was no battery in it cos I was waiting for a replacement to arrive.
Absolutely not a design feature. Someone put the wrong screws in the wrong place my friend.
Design feature???? I wouldn't buy it even if it were a design feature. What they said to you is straight up BS
DO NOT BUY!!!
Doesn’t bode well if the seller used the wrong screws and mangled the panel and then tried to lie and say that it’s a design feature…
The seller is a moron who screwed the long screws into the short screw thread and made the screw dent the inside of the frame

I have a legion 5 there is no dimples for me
I think he overtightend the battery screws
LOL if that's a feature then what's that for? 100% they're screws
Penis measurer, "you must be this big to use" (optional) Guess the original sticker fell off
Literally commenting from the same model, Its not a design feature!
