Lenovo Flex 5 hinges fail after less than 1000 openings!

I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 laptop, the hinges failed unilaterally (right hinge) 3 months and 5 days after the warranty was up. This laptop was used in my business, the hinges were opened and closed once per day at my desk. Laptop was never removed from office and never abused. Near as I can calculate that means the hinge mechanism failed after 922 cycles, give or take 50 cycles. There is a class action suit regarding this failure. IBM products and Lenovo SUCK!
