All Dell Laptops should come with metal hinges

300 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops by rajesh_rs 05/24/07

I have noticed that the Dell laptops are not as rugged as Lenovo or IBM Thinkpad. I would love to buy a Dell laptop which has metallic hinges which can hold firm and not vibrate when I am typing or moving my laptop around.
