    Does the EEE look and/or feel cheap in person?

    I think the EEE is a really neat machine, but every single photo I've seen of it makes me think that it is built with cheap material. However, I haven't seen one up close. For those who have, what is it like?

    Thanks

    Used it for 2 months. To me it has decent build quality for its price.
