    From what I've heard in the past they're okay, but they're not sold in the US and frankly, I've never seen one at any of the tech shows I attend, so I don't know for sure. You might try searching, I know NEC has come up a little bit before.

    The build quality of a recent 12" NEC notebook was good: good quality plastic case, good screen (thought low resolution, which I don't like),
    good keyboard, attractive looking. The review I read was also mentioning
    good battery life.

    However, even in Europe those are very rare to get. I guess, they are
    mainly sold on Asian-Pacific markets.
