>The only thing that's stopping me from grabbing a GPD Micro is the fact that multiple people here have expressed doubts about the hinge's longevity
I would advise not to let that stop you. For one, my hinge has yet to break after well over a year of constant daily use, and until this thread it not occur to me to worry about it; for another, I have every confidence that if it did break, I could fix it. The device is extremely hackable, being screwed together like a laptop instead of sealed like a phone. Indeed, a commenter in this very thread did a DIY fix on their hinge, and according to them it's better than the original.
