    I read a bit about another thread commenting on Asus's poor general laptop build quality. However not many people commented on the G1/G2 build quality because I imagine they were casual or business users.

    How do all of you feel about the build quality of the G1/G2 series versus other notebooks in the same or less price range (ie. dells, lenovos, hp etc.).

    Thanks!

    Mine still looks like new after 1 yr minus the scratches on the shiny lid, I think in general Asus notebooks have very good build quality.

    My speakers died after half a year. Otherwise, everything all good.

    Had my G1 for over 1 year now. Aside from some minor software issues from the beginning, I've got no complaints. Nothing has failed, or broken.
