I use it 99 percent on my lap. I carry it around with me outside of the 
house every single day - all day - taking it in and out of its case. I 
carry it around the house when I'm home - using it in different places, 
including out on the patio and in bed <G>.
I open and close it probably an average of 10 to 15 times per day. Some 
days more.

See the big difference in usage styles? Those of us who use it like the 
laptop it is should not have had to be dealing with THIS much problem. 
And when those who use it more like a nicely-mobile desktop - taking it 
out only occasionally - don't have problems -- it doesn't make our 
complaints any less legitimate, of course.
