    thats just a design render, it is not an actual m11x.

    It cannot close that far, otherwise keyboard would touch the screen, also theres the rubber stoppers for stopping it crashing into the palm rest too hard. Mine has ~1.5mm gap there when closed, it is closed enough considering it doesn't lock into place, and a design for hinges to accomplish that - i doubt - would be fairly short lasting and complex.

    again, thats not an actual picture of an actual physical product, and just a render of the design, what the bloke that designed this thinks is "perfect" - that rarely wins the battle against its arch nemesis - The Reality.

    Cheers.
