It looks like they are doing the "cheaping out" things that everyone else has done. And it is common across consumer tier hardware. Sure it may not be a computer, but my Philips trimmer met the same fate in trying to open it. It had a couple broken latches. Find as good business tier hardware you can find, is all I can say. ThinkPads atleast retain all the good traits, plus they officially allow users to open and repair/replace hardware, so they still are better than anything else by a long shot.
The Dells I've come across are all infinately easier to work on, and have had fewer problems. I hope you have a better experience than me, but I can't recommend anything from Lenovo
