I really am getting sick of repairing broken laptop hinges. This ASUS Zenbook is a perfect example of manufacturer's cost cutting under the guise of "premium". "US Military Grade durability" Yes they use weak adhesive to attach a hinge to a thin piece of metal.

At what point will these companies simply spend the few dollars more to design a hinge that won't destroy itself? I've had hundreds of customers at my small repair shop alone switch over to MacBook's due to their build quality alone. Which means they're now locked into an ecosystem where I am unable to help them in any way if something breaks. This is a terrible trend that needs to stop.
But it won't.
