How tight are the hinges on this one? The last 2 HP laptops I’ve owned had really tight hinges to the point where one was actually recalled and had to be replaced. The other one which I’m still using cracked the internal mount on the right side and I have to hold the case together when I open and close it. Thanks in advance for any answers!

A significant step forward from the 2014 hinge style. Stays in place where left, but easy enough to close one-handed, no ‘inertia creaks’ when travel begins, feels ‘firm but padded’ during travel, no resistance change at any point in the rotation. The screen feels heavier than I remembered in the 2014 revision, too, which makes the ease of opening and ease of staying put especially impressive.

Thanks for the info. I bought my current laptop from Woot in Oct of 2013 and understand “inertia creaks” very well. Have to give this one a bit more thought but for the price and options it really fits my needs. Thanks again!
