3510 Screen Hinge Broke Again

Question

Well, my Inspiron 3510 left hinge to the screen broke again.  This time I used aluminum duck take to seal it to the base so it will remain open and not close.  Of all the Dell laptops I have owned this one is the poopiest one yet.  When the hinges are not broken it is the best Dell laptop I have owned.  I am thinking about an Hp laptop.  What yawl think?

The low-end HP systems are as bad if not worse than the Inspirons for hinge issues.
In general, business-grade systems (Latitude, HP Envy etc) are built fairly robustly. Consumer-grade notebooks are more likely to use plastic hinge mounts that can fail (and that goes for just about all notebooks, not just Dell, HP, etc.).
