Alienware notebook bezel Indent explained

Dell engineering has confirmed that the purpose of this Indent is to provide space for the Tobii Camera. Systems that are shipped with the Tobii camera need the Indent for when the system is closed. The same cover is used if you purchase the system with or without the Tobii camera. That means this Indent is found on all these systems.

Note: This Indent is designed into the plastics. There is no fault with the plastics.
