    I got my laptop about 2 months ago and I've noticed that the hinge holding the screen to the rest of the notebook is pretty loose when opening and closing the lid. It's hard to explain but when you lift the cover up and down, it feels as if I keep doing it from normal usage, it won't hold as well in the future.

    Is the lid supposed to be this loose? I've checked an old HP and it takes more force to move the lid up and down.

    Well I sent them an inquiry. Guess I have to wait to see what they say.

    I don't want to have to pry the LCD bezel out and tighten the screws myself or anything. If it's brand new it shouldn't have this kind of problem.
