Product: HP Envy 17T
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have had my Envy 17T since 2014.  I had the hinges repaired in 2016 under warranty.  They broke again in 2017 or 2018 and I applied an epoxy fix that has worked well until now.   I'm  now looking to replace my laptop to get more modern features.  This has been a good laptop except for the hinge problem.

 

I've seen that HP has redesigned their hinges in the past year.I'm wondering of this redesign is more reliable/effective in preventing the broken hinge problem a lot of us have seen.  Does anyone have any feedback on the new hinge design? 

 

Thanks!!

HP is always redesiging everything. Which model are you specifically looking to buy? You can't really comment across the board on "HP new hinges" as every model is different.
