It's not a design flaw so much as a device built to sell for as low a price as possible. There is only so much an manufacturer can build into a $500 notebook durability wise, and you'll find that entry level consumer grade notebooks are pretty much built the same way.
They're designed to look nice in a showroom and last a couple to three years before being replaced.
