    Does anyone have any experience with either of these notebooks? I like the look of them both but, have gotten slightly different opinions about overall build quality.

    Actually I just happened to run into one today, A client of mine had one. Looks to be a pretty solid build, and not a shabby looking machine. He complained of shotty battery life though.

    Yes, I have read it only last around 2hrs with the standard battery but, I don't mind getting the extended one or even a second main battery.

    Which model did you see?

    well, the a6101 is supposed to be the consumer model. the e8210 is the business. the e8210 should be overall better constructed. the a6101 replaced the n3530, which i have. if it is anything like the n3530, then it should have above average build quality.
