What's going on with HP's hinge design?

[CMLS1988]

What's going on with HP's poor hinge design? Seems to be intentionally weak. I guess that ensures that you regularly purchase a new one? I expected better from HP. I like their laptops overall, but they definitely need a better package. I don't want a bunch of laptops that can't be closed sitting around.
