Casper’s Excalibur G870 laptop completed a 100,000-cycle mechanical durability test conducted by Intertek. During testing, the laptop lid was repeatedly opened and closed at a 110-degree angle. The hinge system showed no deformation, and the device passed inspections at each checkpoint.
Intertek evaluated the hinge after 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 opening-and-closing cycles. The results indicate that the Excalibur G870’s lid mechanism withstood repeated movement under the conditions of the test.
What did the Excalibur G870 hinge test measure?
The test assessed whether repeated opening and closing would cause visible deformation in the laptop’s hinge system. The lid moved through 100,000 cycles at a 110-degree angle, with inspections at five specified intervals. Intertek reported no hinge deformation during the test.
Why does laptop hinge durability matter?
A laptop lid moves frequently during everyday use, placing repeated mechanical stress on its hinges and connection points. Over time, that movement can contribute to wear. A test involving repeated opening and closing offers one way to assess how a hinge performs under sustained mechanical use, although the result applies to the test conditions rather than every possible real-world situation.
Casper’s view on the test results
Feray Karaman, Casper’s deputy general manager responsible for marketing and operations, said laptop quality involves more than processor, display and performance specifications. She described the G870’s successful independent laboratory test as evidence of the company’s engineering approach and said the 100,000-cycle result represents five times the stated industry standard.
