    Basically through a small discussion on another form, I decided to make a quick video.

    Here it goes: MBP vs Latitude E6500 Hinge/ Very quick LCD Comparison

    I will not compare the two in terms of operating system, hardware, and build quality in this thread by request Enjoy.

    I really liked these tests. Especially the shaking, it happens so often aboard the airplane. I dare you to try those tests on m11x. :D

    I would have loved to see the MBP 15" in place of the 13". The 15" MBP has notoriously weak hinges. I could do either of those tests to mine and the display will just flop back to it's widest opening position.

    I only have the 13.3" to demonstrate atm, perhaps at another time I may get the MBP 15" or 17" to demonstrate. Yeah the hinges are not adequate for the system's weight.
