This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

I was gonna say I thought I remembered some of the lenovos doing it, but after poking around I'm pretty sure they only do like 300º instead
There's some "2-in-1 laptops", which you can fold over fully:
The keyboard disables when you do that, so that you can hold it like a tablet.
But yeah, as someone else said, it still isn't actually one hinge that goes 360°, but rather two hinges chained together.
Your image is broken for me
Ah yeah, damn, I put a different one in.
lemmy.ml has an automatic image proxy, which is in theory really cool, because it prevents requests from going out to all kinds of webpages, but sometimes it fails to process the image and I can only check after I've hit "Reply"...
It’s fixed now, but that sucks.
I hate these. Super fragile hunge and I never see any laptop or tabtop used like that
I had one with a similar hinge and it never felt fragile. Of course I never tried to use it like in the picture, that just seems silly.
