    It seems like Cnet mentions that this particular model tends to get quite warm. What is everyone's else experiance with this computer?? Also how durable is it, does it feel rather plasticky?? Is there flex in the keyboard and how rigid is the LCD panel?? Any input would be truely appreciated thank you... ^^..

    Overall, very well built. Not at all plasticy - the entire shell is metal. Keyboard and LCD are great. The until does get a bit hot, but not too bad.

    This machine is definitely the best value on the market right now for a feature packed - lightweight, business grade lapatop.

    As far as I know the shell is made out of plastic, plus I don't see how it could be made out of anything else looking at the price of this machine.

    I have another question in regards to how cool this system runs. I have found that some laptops tend to get much hotter when the AC is plugged in. I was wondering if this laptop also has that same issue, and if so how bad is it? Thank you...
