IBM's wierd hinges.

#1 Post by Thinkpad4by3 » Tue Jun 27, 2017 3:38 pm

Does anyone know why IBM always had uneven hinge designs. If you look at a G41 ,it is very clear.

Why are the Hinges on the left alot bigger than the ones on the right. Does the left hinge provide any support?
The only acceptable use for a MacBook is to shop for a Thinkpad.

Older designs had the cables from the lid to the motherboard feeding through only one opening, so the hinge was an eminent place for that.
Why left? No idea.
