    I call it that because so far the case has not developed what I hear many other manufacturers laptops do. What I am referring to is the Splitting of the casing just above the hinge.
    I just over a year ago I sold an HP DV9207US after I got it back from HP on a warrenty for that same issue. I have been reading that the M17x is developing a simular problem.
    This is why I call the M17 the tank. It hasn't developed this problem and for the most part has been problem free.
    I did recently have to replace a Hard drive but I credit that to wear and tear and I do use mine alot. I don't plan parting with mine anytime soon and just wanted to say something good about the M17 as it seems you never see people post when they have a good experience with one. Long live the M17!
