Feels like a quality piece of equipment.  Solid. The case is plastic but feels and looks like metal.  Pretty good keyboard, though there isn't much travel in the keys, probably due to how thin the computer is.  I don't feel like that will be an issue as I get used to it.  The computer screen is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars as it is mildly washed out and the viewing angles are more limited than on a machine that costs twice as much. A really good size screen.  I've had it less than 24 hours, but I've used it for a good number of hours and it seems pretty good. I'll fiddle a bit with the settings to improve the slightly washed out look, which will probably help.  Battery life seems in line with what they claim.  So far I recommend it.  Solid.  Looks good.  A good value.
