Some iPad Pros ship a little bent, and Apple says that's normal
Gadget-makers have long played with the idea of bendable displays, but this isn't what they were going for: Apple has confirmed that some brand-new iPad Pro units have a slight bend to them—and this is expected and not a defect.
There are numerous stories and images of very slight bends on brand-new devices on the MacRumors forums, and The Verge's Chris Welch observed the same issue in his own iPad.
When The Verge reached out to Apple for comment, the company told the publication that the bending is "a side effect of the device's manufacturing process and shouldn't worsen over time or negatively affect the flagship iPad's performance in any practical way." (The Verge's words.) Apple says the bending happens as a result of a cooling process used on the components when the device is manufactured.

I got (actually still have) a VAIO SZ around about 12 years ago, it came with a lid/screen so thin that if you lifted it by one corner it would warp over an inch before it started to open - ultra light weight and flexible. Nice machine -except- it ran so hot that the ultra-thin fans worked so hard that they jammed full of dust in less than a year, it has been cleaned out twice and spent most of its thin life at the bottom of the sock drawer. Also, unfortunate fact: it ran/runs Vista and many of the gee-whiz internal gadgets like camera and fingerprint scanner only ever came with Vista drivers.
