    Hi, I hear the F3KA laptops are the budget series for Asus, i was wondering if someone could comment on the build quality of these laptops. Are they sturdy? Im looking at this one on newegg... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220305.

    If possible could someone post some in home pictures of a f3 series laptop. Thanks so much.

    Don't the pictures in the reviews help you? For instance http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3794

    Take a look at the F3 Keyboard Crack thread (linked from the Info Booth for instance). It seems the F3 build quality is not the best out there... (although besides that issue they may be quite sturdy).

    Also I'm not sure if that keyboard issue happens for all F3 models. But by reading the thread you should be able to tell.
