    Is there any people bought M15x recently met the hinge problem?

    I'm still within the "14 days" and i'm considering to get my refund to avoid the hinge problem...

    I got the hinge problem recently. Although I would advise against returning just because something *might* happen. Just around 40 or so people have reported it out of a few hundreds who may have bought the m15x. Its an absolute beast as long as it lasts!
    Mine still is a beast, but its in a cardboard box, waiting to be ferried across the seas ;) Looking forward to having it repaired and getting back to what I love the most: FRAGGIN!

    I'd like to know if the M15xs produced since December still have the hinge problem or Alienware has fixed it?

    There would be no way of knowing that now, isnt it ;)
    Most users have their hinges opened up after a couple of months of usage, except for 1 guy who got it the next day. I think it was Gabez or someone.
    Best of luck man.
    Just hang in there!! We will pray for you.
