The case/hinges has always been the first thing to fall apart in all my passed laptops. This is the third and the plastic case is showing age. The other two are still running well but they can't be moved around at all no more. Basically I want something as tough as an Apple Macbook but without Apple crap on it (I need Linux).
My next laptop will have the best case and hinges or there won't be another one. I can't stand seeing perfectly runnning old machines made unusable because cheap assembly.
- jbotz 5y agoI've been using a Thinkpad T470 for the past 2 years, and the hinges are really solid... they look like they'll last many more years. I had a couple of T400s before which basically disintegrated around the hinges, so I know whereof you speak, but at least this series of Thinkpads don't seem to suffer from that problem... looks like they learned their lesson.
