Hinges survey. 2009+ laptops. How's it holding up?

Most new laptops, regardless of brand, come with those cheap plastic hinges that pivot around the back. Seems to be the styling trend these days. (and it also prevents the laptop from being opened 180 degrees)

I'm not sure if there's metal underneath that plastic , or if it's a big block of plastic around a metal rod

Anyway, I just wanted to survey how everyone's laptop is holding up. Has your hinge cracked or failed yet?
If you've got a 2009+ asus with this hinge style, please pitch in.

 

Hinge longevity (or lack thereof) is highly dependent on the wear & tear exerted by the user. All you're going to get are anectodal reports at best, which will not be reflective of the entire Asus product line as a whole.

In any event, the industry has shifted to this style due to a combination of production costs and also the rotation plane allows the notebooks to be slightly thinner profile when open, which the buying public is obsessed over. This is essentially an updated variant of the styles Asus started using in volume with the Z7xx and W2x/W3x 6-7 years ago and then morphed with their Eee series. The only Asus models I recall that had demonstrable issues with hinges breaking was the older A8 series. How well the style otherwise holds up for a given product isn't going to be as helpful since we're all stuck with them going forward anyways - you aren't going to have an alternative without it when everybody is using this.
