I have broken at least 3 laptops because I fell over it, trip over it because of the cord. I had 2 laptops with a short cord and I tripped over it many times, causing for all of them to crack on the hinge. They are cheap laptops like $400 toshiba or Lenovo.
I got a new laptop or 'ideapad' and this one I have now, is smaller and thinner so I hope I will not have that same issue. So far because its a thinner and smaller design i have not dropped it but I tripped i over the cord today…
