    considering that webcams cost only $2-$5 , I don't get why they always cheap out to save a couple bucks.

    They even cheaped out by sourcing a ChiMei lcd panel.

    and it looks like they're still not using aluminum unibody chassis.

    Plastic insides epoxied to aluminum shell. Hinge anchor points are again the weak spot.

    Depend on whether you want to mod the cooling and/or care about mic/webcam quality.
