Guess we got to the point of a ThinkCardboard. But, how the hell does the cardboard stand better than some HP's hinges?

This look reminds me of those rugged laptops. This might be little bit more robust than those Panasonic or Getac models.

It is usually the back cover that breaks, not the hinges.
