    Interesting so tapping on the screen doesn’t make it fall back? I didn’t touch them as I thought it must be there for a reason to be a counterweight.

    To be fair, if the screen is pushed back over 45° (from an imaginary vertical line) the keyboard starts to lift a little by itself.

    In that case touching the screen increases the phenomena, and the keyboard is lifted every time you push the screen. But the laptop never falls back, it becomes just unstable.

    If the screen remains in the 0° – 45° range, I don’t see any differences with or without the weights, but I must admit that I’m not a big fan of touch screens on laptops and I’m not using the Cube’s one 😉

    How did you managed to remove them? I was trying with a sharp knife but feared to break the plastic. Would you post a guide/suggestion?

    Hi Paolo,

    The weights are hold only by some kind of double sided duct tape. I used a flat screw driver to remove them.

    The duct tape is strong but it shouldn’t resist you 😉

    Done!.

    It does feel lighter. At this screen real estate this machine may be the lighter option around.

    Definitely more wooblie when sceen pass 30 degrees on touch, and after 60 even without touch; perfectly fine until then and obviously when flat (which is probably the best orientation for pen).

    Totally worth removing if one doesn’t plan relying on touch too much or exludes the extreme hinge angles.

    Maybe that’s why apple blocks it screeens hinge by design…

    Please can you tell me how to remove the magnets on the lid or make them less powerful, on the cube i35 if possible, as they pull the screen out of the caseing, thank you.
