MSI

okay so the problem is that MSI doesn't distribute the hinge torque and creates a concentration of torque on the mount. when you look at the hinges of MSI laptops, you'll see either the hinges screwed directly into the plastic lid or glued into the metal lid. the hinge mounts are very short and do not distribute the torque across the entire lid as is seen on most other laptops which have no hinge problems. there is simply no way to make a hinge design like this without putting so much stress and wear on this tiny area where the hinges are mounted without making it weak and prone to breaking. add that onto the fact that MSI overtightens their hinges and you have a recipe for hinges breaking left and right. Until someone shows me an MSI laptop that has the hinge torque properly distributed, there is absolutely no way I'm having customers risk getting a laptop which may break.

tl;dr MSI hinges tend to break
