Broken hinges legitimately should not be a thing, but here we are (thanks capitalism.)

Which gaming laptops can people buy and be sure that their hinges will not break even after many years of normal use? I'm fine with paying more if it avoids repairing or replacing it before it's past its usefulness.

Hate to say it but the best gaming laptop with respect to hinges is the one with hinges you can easily source and replace yourself. Hinges are a wear part.

I have no data to back this up but Lenovo hinges have always seemed sturdy to me. The Legion feels well built overall.

Not a laptop, but steam deck.

Is there a reason it needs to be a laptop? I know there has been a lot of progress, but there are still significant sacrifices you need to make if you’re avoiding a desktop computer.
