macbook lid hinge

heres a video regarding the hinge on the macbook air rev A refurbished.
this should give you an idea of the hinge issue people have been asking me about. i personally havent had an issue yet at all. you can see in the part of the video where the side view is shown that the hinge is very tight because it actually lifts the bottom half off the desk when opening the top lid. yes there may be alittle play in the top lid when tapping the screen but its really the same amount as my macbook(white) so i really dont feel that the little play is an issue at all but its your call i love this notebook

have any questions? feel free to ask

thanks for watching

my mac is still in good condition. the hinge has only alittle flop when tapped or hit just like in the video to be completely honest.

The lid in this video has just the right amount of tension. The defective hinges would show wobble, and probably fall closed when at a 30 or less closing angle.

Since it is almost impossible to de-laminate the screen bezel without damaging it, complete replacement of the screen is often required to replace the hinges!

Apple does suck! Some of their products don't. Some do.

i think probably it is the magnets it is probably strong

Don't worry about it, when it starts wearing out it should get looser. Just enjoy it :)

C'mon people. I understand that the MacBook Air is the latest and greatest device from apple but you can not expect it to be absolutely PERFECT upon the first 6 months of it being released. I also understand that it is Apple, everyone EXPECTS it to be perfect. But like any other device that has ever been released there is going to be an issue of some sort. Like I've always done, just wait a couple months, keep in touch with whats going on THEN, go out and buy it..

I heard those have good DVD-Driv- OH WAIT

[ibanez1andrew]

thats normal i guess my mbp doesnt do it

but the base of the air is lighter then then the hinge.

Too loose? You should have gotten that checked out at the apple store.

[jakemertz]

you have to remember that if the hinge is just a tiny bit to tight the light weight front will lift right up. But good video.
