    So i have read about broken hinges issues and i heard that they have resolved the issues in the newer laptops. I was wondering if i should buy this laptop? And also, if i buy this laptop, i can just get the RAM and Hard drive myself right? Because i don't really wanna buy it directly from them as they are overpriced.

    You can buy the m15x with the minimum specs for RAM and HDD and replace it later. We're not positive as to whether or not the hinge issue is fixed. If you take care of it, you'll hopefully be okay.

    I just realized you made two threads, lulz.
