The CR6XX and A6XXX series are exteremely flimsy in construction. The screws holding the LCD panel to the base of the computer always come loose as well as the screws that hold the display hinges to the LCD panel. Also the arms holding the LCD panel to the hinges are composed of extremely soft metal with a single spot weld that holds the arm together. This spot weld frequently fails causing the LCD back panel (the computers lid) to break at the hinge points. The area of the lower case, where the display hinges attach have no reinforcement so when a hinge failure occurs, the hinge mounting points in computers's base frequently break. In addition. the cost of replacement parts for these computers is extreme. I know this because I have had to repair a large quantity of these computers that are less than a year old. My advice, save your money and buy something that is more durable. These computers are JUNK! The CR6XX and A6XXX series are exteremely flimsy in construction.
