"Apple should know that a loose hinge like this will only lead to quicker wear on a the screen's hinge. Something like this shouldn't be a problem for a 99 laptop, especially with a company that is supposed to invest thousands on R&D"

"Please fix the hinge. I noticed the issue right out of the box but could not do anything about it because I received the MBP a week before going to Iraq. I bought it after returning a bad ass Dell laptop that had some nutty issues. I really expected better from Apple."

"I enjoy moving my 17" macbook pro from the table to my lap or vice versa and having the screen close. Or when on of my children run by the table while I am working on it the lid will close. I also enjoy the times when I scratch my head hold my MBP in the other hand or on my lap and the lid will close. I would love to see this fixed and to have the hinges tightened up and while Apple is at it the can put out some drivers to allow Windows 7 to control the fan speed without the need for shoddy 3rd party apps."

"I took mine to the apple store and they tried tightening the hinges, but they were already as tight as they could be. So the genius decided to replace the entire LED panel. That took a week to come it :( and after they installed it and told me it was done i came in and tested it. Come to find out they forgot to put my airport card back in the new panel, so i had to wait another week for the new airport card to come in (they had already shipped off my old card with the old panel). After all that headache and two weeks without a fully usable laptop, the screen hinge was still too weak to hold up the screen correctly, so i took it back to the Apple store again and talked to a different genius, come to find out that they are built that way for a reason and apple does not consider it a problem but a solution to too many broken hinges or something like that, IDK i forgot what he said now but it didn't make any sense to me :( I sold that 15" uni-body MBP and bought a plastic MB which has a perfectly tight reliable hinge."

"I agree with you guys. This Macbook is Brand Spankin New and it does the same thing. Also, just recently my screen started not staying closed very well. If you hold it slightly upside down it pops open. WTF Apple, 2000$."

"Just bought my first ever Mac and can't believe that for a company that prides itself so much on the products it sells, that this would even be an issue. "

"I was really excited to upgrade from my 2007 Macbook Pro to a unibody Macbook. The screen hinge is loose, the giant trackpad registers bunch of false positives (because it doesn't have a discrete button), and on top of it all my screen flickers every couple of minutes. As much as I love OSX and Apple design in general, I can't help but feel that I downgraded from my previous laptop."

"I just bought a macbook Pro no more than 30 minutes ago...highly dissapointed by the hinges that I'm scared of breaking this, so I went and pulled a loan from a friend to buy a regular macbook, which the hinges are just fine on...just so I can use the macbook for portability, and the macbook pro at home where I do most of my video rendering...unnacceptable that I had to buy TWO laptops in the same day. I'm a loyal apple customer whom over the last 5 years spent well over 14,000 dollars on stuff for myself! The hinges are unnacceptable. "

"I just purchased the mac book pro a couple weeks ago and bought a hard plastic case to go on it. I frequently use the computer on my lap which is why I purchased a laptop. When I shift my weight or move the computer slightly the lid flops backwards all the way to the max open position. I took it in to a mac genius yesterday. He had me remove the case because it added weight to the screen and macs are not guaranteed to work properly with a case. Then told me that mac standards are that the screen just has to remain in place when it is completely vertical. Though my mac screen falls over at slight angles, my mac screen still balances in a completely vertical position and thus meets guidelines. He told me there is nothing he could do except return the case which was aggravating the problem by adding weight to the screen. I later spoke with a manager and tried to explain that the floor model had a much sturdier screen hinge when compared side by side to mine and placed at the same exact angles. He just told me that all products have variations and my computer still meets the standards. I am very disappointed with my purchase and am seriously considering returning the product, though my mac store refuses to waive the restocking fee since my mac "is not defective." I am currently using popsicle sticks to hold the screen in place for normal use. I shouldn't have to do that with such an expensive and new computer. I am very disappointed in this product and mac customer service."

"I don't mind the problem being there NOW but as you mention, a few years, or even months from now, if the screen won't stay up what's the point? If i wanted a tablet I'd have waited... Going to call Apple next week and see what they say!"

René Ehlert,
"Brilliant product, but the display should remain where it is when the MBPro is resting angled on my lap! "

Arthur Olsen,
"Completly unacceptable. The screen collapses over my hands when i user the computer in my favorite position: laying down. Fix it. Now. I've spent a lot of mony on this computer"

Ian Wedlock,
"I have sent mine back for this issue with the MacBook Pro on the left in your video. They say that they replaced the hinges...it still does it. Today my laptop died and I have to send it back in again. I listed the hinges as an issue again. I will keep sending it back until they give me another because the ones at the store, before the Unibody, didn't have this issue."
