    I was thinking the same thing,

    MSI has a 120hz panel in it tho And cooling wise the MSI has considerable more copper in there

    Also shopback has a 6% cash back offer atm
    Which after cashback would bring it to 1014.53

    Forgot to update, it costs more $ to switch CPUs and/or upgrade other hardware components.

  I bought one of these a few months ago. Overall not a bad unit however Lenovo customer support just ignores you. I'd never purchase Lenovo again

    Dam, that sucks to hear.
    My last Lenovo laptop screen hinge half-broke 3 weeks after warranty period ended. But I get what I pay for, it was a dirt cheap laptop with mid-range specs.

      Unless the hinge was treated roughly or not handled correctly ( should open laptop in middle of screen or at each corner with smooth even force ), I really think laptop hinges should last many years as some of my older laptops still work fine 5+yrs on.

      Dirt cheap is still AU$300-$500 which is considered a lot of money for over half the population of this planet, so hope you attempted to contact Lenovo for repair/complaint. If so, what was the result?

        I didn't try to contact them because I was technically out of the 1-year period, and I suspected their CS was going to be annoying.

        My laptop never moved anywhere from my desk and I only closed/opened it once in the morning / at night. The left hinge seized up and when closing it, it snapped the entire bezel out of the display.
        The only thing holding the metal hinge to the plastic back-plate is two self-tapping screw that has about 3-4mm of thread engagement, and it completely ripped out of the thread.

        It's really strange because going on 3 years now, the right hinge is doing 2x as much work and it's going fine.

          @Blitzfx: With such careful use if only a few weeks after 12 months it could have been a good idea to contact Lenovo service and explain and at least ask them, sometimes you can get a surprise.

          For a new laptop I think Australian Consumer Law would give you at least 18 to 24 months on a laptop, even at the lower end and for a hinge. Good to try and hold companies like this responsible to their responsibilities where possible.

          Sounds like a faulty product or something worked loose on the left hinge, as if it was a design fault you would think the other side would have given up the ghost by now too. Although being reversed, like a mirror opposite, maybe one side could still be weaker than the other side. I bet your nursing it since break. Never broke a hinge, but I have had faulty screen cables also from opening and closing hinge/cable strain.

  It sounds like you are used to open the lid with the left hand pulling up the left corner. With today flimsy builds the hinge gets lots of stress.
