Make those laptops display lid hinges unbreakable and offer a guaranteed 6 year free repair for a hinge that breaks

366 points posted to Monitors and Displays, Laptops by mahei 02/19/07

I had two laptops in the past 6 years with a broken hinge at the display lid because i always have my notebook around with me at home, university, work, clients etc.

I will never again buy a laptop which does not look mechanically stable - it's a total waste of money to pay around EUR 1000,- for something that breaks just because some engineer saved 20 cents in the design of the construction.

Many have problems where the screen-side of the hinge becomes loose from the screen and breaks the plastic holding the screw that holds it in place as well as possibly the hinge itself. I highly suggest that everyone who has received such a model should be sent a replacement part (or maybe even have it fixed), free of charge, else Dell may lose more and more customers.
