    First impression very sleak design and a really nice notebook.

    It just feels very fragile as if it is not really suited for carrying around.

    But that is my impression.

    I got a Asus bag with it and a nice little logitech mouse and that is nice.

    Ya, I thought it was very solid compared to the majority of laptops out there. If you pick up alot of laptop just by the bottom and wiggle them, the screen tends to bend back and forth, the W3V does not.

    The reason it feels fragile is because its got a metal cover wich is thinner than plastic and light. Its strong but give the sence of less solid my W2V feels like that.

    I've had my W3A almost 5 months and have done a fair amount of travelling.

    The only deteriorations are some shiny patches on some of the keys and a mark on the palm rest which is caused by inter-action with the display surround which the computer is closed. Otherwise I support the general view that the build quality is good.
