    Yes although every time I open the lid with one hand I wonder why no other manufacturer seems to get their hinge friction so perfect.

      Many/most of the other laptops I’ve taken apart have their hinges screwed into plastic, or worse, the hinges themselves are plastic too. This is a cost cutting measure and also limits the amount of tension since the plastic can’t take higher tension.
