Comment on My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

  Actually if you want a serious answer, I usually try to apply force as close to the hinge as possible when opening and closing the lid. This way the full length of the screen isn’t acting as a lever multiplying the force on the relatively short span of the hinge mounting bracket.

  I definitely agree this is too common a problem not to be by design.
