I have had 2 17inch penryns so far and neither one has a loose hinge.
They are very stiff and will not fall down on their own.

Tilt the rear up 90 degrees so the front is pointing down. If it doesn't close by itself I'll buy you a beer.
Hmmm...
My hinge I think is too tight as it creaks whenever I open or close it. A kid at the Apple store said he thought it was the screws on the bottom back part of the computer that would loosen it up a bit. I think he's cook-a-nutty.
I guess I'll check with AppleCare next time they're open.

If it creaks and you are within the 2 week exchange you can get a replacement for your computer.
