Hinge issue.

[2crackedframes]

Could someone please help? I'm simply a consumer looking to avoid getting ripped off for a third time.
When it comes to HINGES, How Do I Know A Trustworthy HP Model From a Bad One?

I'm looking to replace an HP that's less than a year old that exhibited hinge issues less than 2 months after purchasing it. I've gone through 2 different HP models due to hinge issues. So yes, Fool me twice, shame on me. I've shopped around for a different laptop brand to purchase as my THIRD replacement, but my need for a 17 inch screen and backlit keys leave very few options for anything other than an HP.

Does anyone know the exact faulty hinge models or builds that have the most problems? I need to know what to avoid so I don't get burnt by HP ever again. If the answers aren't available here could someone please point me in the direction of where I might find them?

Thanks for reading
