The folks by at Dell probably won’t be too happy with the recent videos that Lenovo has posted. We’re talking about the video (available in the full post) that they put up, subjecting the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge and Dell’s Vostro V13 to torture tests.

Do you have any past experiences with cracked LCD displays? What do you think of Dell and Lenovo’s quality?
