    I've read 2 reviewers say that their hinge has broken after a month's time. I'm thus concerned about it's durability. I have one coming in the mail on Friday, but am having second thoughts about having an "all bling" but fragile machine I will have to baby.

    I am also looking at some of the Lenovo Thinkpads which I heard were bombproof. I generally treat my stuff very gently, but was just wondering if any of you with the X360 could attest as to whether it felt cheap? Are the hinges all plastic (or is there magnesium or metal inside)?

    It's a matter that concern me too. I hope we have some owner to clarify the real thing.

    You will not find a better laptop at 749.00 AR... Beats everything hands down at that price.
