    Namely the K52, how is the durability on these laptops? Any known issues? Hinges? Battery problems? Any at all? thanks!

    Build quality for the K52 is average, as expected from a consumer budget laptop. There have been reports of sub-par keyboards and short battery lives coming from the K52 series.

    how about longevity in general? I will either go with this to save some cash or just go with the Sager np5160 for 900+ and the gt540 GPU.
