I received my new laptop today and I noticed that the back plastic panel does a strance "click" sound every now and then, around middle right opposite to the touch pad, it's not always but it did it twice already while I was handling it. I don't want to retourn it as everyghing else works great but should I?
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to HP Support Community
Does the back panel appear loose or coming apart? If it is not, then nothing to worry
But if the back panel appears to be loose then I suggest you contact HP Support

3) Enter the serial of your device.
4) Select the country from the drop-down.
5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences.
6) Fill the web-form and proceed further.
Thank you

Thank you for your prompt reply!
Do you mean here?
I received my new laptop two days ago and I noticed it was doing a strange "clicking" noise when I picked it up. When I inspectioned it further I noticed that the back plastic panel is not completely flush with the metal at the front and it clicks every time I grab it from there, it's very subtle but it's there. Also the fan makes a strange noise as well, I wonder if it's part of the same problem.
Is that something I can do to fix it? Can I bring it somewhere to check it? Do I need to send it back to you?
I really love it! I don't want it to go to for repair already, but I'll send it back if it's necessary...
