Fujitsu Laptop Casing Problem

My sister recently bought a Fujitsu laptop for use at college. The laptop usually just gets left at home and never moved from the living room. Even though the laptop has never been transported often, the casing in the bottom right side of the laptop is splitting apart. As well as this one of the hinges has come loose which supports the screen.

To say the machine is only a few month old I think this is very poor build quality and would definitely put me off buying a fujitsu system in the future. Has anybody else experienced a similar problem?
