If you had your m11x for LONGER than 4 months and still have working hinges please click me!

Im just trying to see if the faulty hinges is universal to ALL m11x or just a select faulty few. If you had your m11x please answer the following so that we can see if this issue effects all m11x's or just a percentage. The only ones that seem to post in the this forum have issues so I feel like the numbers are misrepresented.

How long have you had the m11x?
Have you had your screen replaced?
How long have had your screen?
How many times do you open and close your laptop a day?
Is your screen misaligned?
Finally: Are your hinges making any noise when opening and closing and are they sturdy without any wobbling or hinge movement?

If I could turn this into a poll I would but I don't know how lol.

 

Mine broke at about 4 months, they sent me a brand new laptop.

I would open the laptop in the morning and close it at night. No noise from the hinges even after it broke.

 

-I've had my m11x r1 for about 4 months
-I haven't had my screen replaced
-I've had my screen for four months since I never replaced it lol
-I open and close my screen probably 6 or more times a day
-Yep, my screen is slightly misaligned
-The left hinge just started creaking a few days ago and the lid is wobbly

 

Anyway you could make a video of the sound? I made one myself here:

delete please

 

Just call up dell, they should send you a new machine.

 

When you say wobbly.. do you mean like, you can gently hit the back of the lid as you're looking at it and typing... and it kind of shakes?

If so... I'm having this problem too! CRAPPPP

 

Pretty sure that is normal and like that for 90% of laptops lol.

 

Have owned my R1 for about 6 months and no issues so far. My hinges are perfectly aligned and make no noise when opening or closing. I open and close the system from the center a couple of times a day. Knocking on wood for continued good luck with the system.

 

Since May 26th and no hinge issues (knock on plastic)...

 

I've had my m11x r1 for about 5 months
I haven't had my screen replaced
I've had my screen for five months
My screen is slightly misaligned
The left hinge cracks a lot

 

I got mine in March and no problems that I am aware of. The build quality is excellent and still feels solid. I had to reinstall everything because I wanted to upgrade my SSD firmware; but other than that, I am very happy. I also keep the original paper that shipped with my unit between my keyboard and screen every time I close my laptop. I keep waiting for a problem to occur to make me want to go back to the MacBook Pro; however this laptop keeps impressing me every time! I really love it!
