I'm tired of buying premium machines and having the hinges blow out. I had a sager where the metal frame itself next to the hinge fatigued and broke. They refused to honor their warranty and claimed it was user induced damage. Shit like that sticks with you, and that machine was $2,400. I can deal with buying cheap junk and having it break, I can also deal with spending and arm and a leg and getting a premium machine that holds together. The issue is today if you are foolish enough to spend and arm and a leg on a laptop, it will fail you just as readily as the junk. I just lost my MBP because the shift key went out (MBP has 0 liquid protection, liquid got in a hole that goes directly into the membrane layers). An entire 1.5k laptop is e-waste because the keyboard is riveted to the chassis with a hardware locked fingerprint reader. I'm done buying junk, I got a fw-13 and had the mainboard replaced under rma. It took me 10 mins to swap out the entire mainboard and send it off.
