I have to admit, after roughly 9 months of use, while initially I didn't have issues with the hinge, I've definitely noticed the display tends to flop around when I'm picking up and moving the laptop, or when riding the bus where the laptop is shifting around. For context, my previous laptop was a 5th gen X1 Carbon and I never had that issue with that machine.
I also can't shake the feeling that the hinge has loosened up a bit, but that's purely anecdotal.
My guess is this is both a combination of a slightly less stiff hinge combined with the taller 3:2 display, which leads to more torque being applied to the hinge when the laptop is moving around.
