    hello people!

    What would you say about the build quality of the 5020? ive heard lots of people complaining about the "plastic-ish" feel of it...

    Is the build quality better than the Dell 6400 (is the one ive got now, and its to compare)?

    Post your opinion and say why

    please help me!

    What exactly does build quality mean? How hard is it to crack or design issues (port arrangement, etc)?

    what i mean by "build quality" is if the laptop is solid or plastic-ish & cracky... so that it feels like a a rock or just a delicate paper....

    Feels like a rock. Only design flaw, was placing a screen support pad directly above the left mouse button. When the top screen is pressed, the mouse button clicks.
    I say good build for the body, but the keyboard is pretty poor, due to the extensive flex on the right hand side.
