15" hinge Santa Rosa

[Eallan]

I have a 2.4GHz MBP (the one before penryn) and the hinge is very very loose. I've had it since last september.

My friends new Penryn one has a MUCH tighter hinge and i'm starting to be annoyed by mine.

It's not to the point where it will fall on it's own, but very light motion will move it.

Mine is from September as well and the hinge is pretty tight. Maybe you can take it to an Apple Store and let them tighten the hinge.

Looks to be "un-tightenable."

I guess I could just buy two new ones. Or complain enough to them. I mean it's not terrible. However, it is annoying.
