    It's my first thread and first message, so forgive any mistakes ;) (especially when my English is not on a high level ;) )

    I have a question as in the title. Could anyone tell me something about it?

    I've tried to find some informations about it, but what I found is very confusing because opinions I've read was diffrent (some said that the build is ok, some that it's not good).

    Maybe it's a silly question, but for how long do You expect that this laptop will work properly?

    I would appreciate especially messages from user that have this notebook for a while.

    Again sorry for mistakes :)

    Welcome to NBR, broq. :)

    I don't have this notebook, but I do have an Xi 1546, which has similar build quality. Also, the Pi 1556 uses the same chassis as the Fujitsu Siemens Pi 1536, Rock Pegasus 665 and the Alienware M5550, so you could look at the reviews for those notebooks. Build quality should be of a high standard, and since the notebook has a good graphics card, and good processor options, it will easily last for some time to come yet.

    And I've bought it :) So far I'm very pleased with this laptop. In my opinion, build quality is fine so my concerns can go away :) As for the functionallity, I'm also happy, it's a perfect laptop for me :) I've borrowed Heroes V from my friend to see how the graphic card handle it and I must say that it runs Heroes with max details on resolution 1024x768. I hope that pi 1556 won't dissapoint me in the future ;)

    Thanks for help Zero :)
