    Hi all,

    I'm not an Inspiron user yet, but I'm considering getting one. Dell's website offers a lot of info, but I haven't found anything on the chassis the model is using.

    What is it made of? Does it seem (relatively) sturdy? What is your estimation of the general degree of ruggedness of the Inspiron line?

    Cheers,

    homoludens

    The chassis is generally plastic, like most any consumer grade laptop.

    If you want a sturdier chassis, go with the Latitude or Precision line.
