This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

I'm like 95% sure a 360 degree hinge isn't even possible, without the thing connected to that hinge being paper thin.

Technically they're not a single 360° hinge. They're actually two 180° hinges that are very close to each other with a short link. I've got one right here.

I was gonna say I thought I remembered some of the lenovos doing it, but after poking around I'm pretty sure they only do like 300º instead

I hate these. Super fragile hunge and I never see any laptop or tabtop used like that

I had one with a similar hinge and it never felt fragile. Of course I never tried to use it like in the picture, that just seems silly.

that was like a puzzle how to make a hinge swing to and paste 360, but it would be past 360 degrees if the hinge was attached to rubber or sting.
