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.

      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.

      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 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.

        There’s some “2-in-1 laptops”, which you can fold over fully:

        The keyboard disables when you do that, so that you can hold it like a tablet.

        But yeah, as someone else said, it still isn’t actually one hinge that goes 360°, but rather two hinges chained together.

            Ah yeah, damn, I put a different one in.

            lemmy.ml has an automatic image proxy, which is in theory really cool, because it prevents requests from going out to all kinds of webpages, but sometimes it fails to process the image and I can only check after I’ve hit “Reply”…
