    How would you compare it, throw it against a rock and see which breaks first? Cant really tell by the feel how sturdy the material is without knowing the composition of the material. U

    When I say construction I say the quality of the plastic.

    The feeling when you touch the portable.

    ∟"more cheaper"??

    Another fine example of the double negative in use.

    On topic: I have the M570TU and find its build quality surpasses the HP, DELL and Toshiba notebook computers I have owne(d).

    If you wait for a week, Chaz is reviewing the NP8660.

    He will be able to compare the M860TU with other Clevo models.

    There is nothing more dangerous than correcting someone's grammar (he says this knowing he is correcting someone's grammar and cringes)

    "More cheaper" is not another fine example of the double negative in use, but an example of a double superlative in use.

    Lesson? It's a computer forum. Every time you write something you leave yourself open to criticism.

    (have at me!)

    LOL!

    Actually the error in question is comparative, not superlative, in its use, cheaper doesn’t meet the requirement for superlative. In this example, “cheaper” is the adjective and “more” is used as an adverb.
    Either way your correct about one thing, criticism goes both ways and I for one am open to it.

    I don’t make it a habit of proofing public forum entries however there is a difference between a typo and
    grammatik error. This example, “more cheaper” is typically used when English is either a second or third language and not the “mother tongue”.

    Well enough of this banter and onto the topic at hand, the M570TU is a quality notebook that allows for upgrades which keep it current. This is my second Clevo notebook and I would not use the word cheap to describe either one.

    Actually, I believe that would be a fine example of the double comparative, which is also an English no-no. :D

    Nothing to be sorry for; to my ear, you still "speak" English better than many, many native speakers. :D

    Well, I've got the brickbats ready! :D

    EDIT: Okay, technically those aren't brickbats, yet, because they're whole bricks, not fragments, but perhaps that's just an excusable technicality?

    Let me tell you about the building quality. The building quality is superb everywhere except the bottom cover.

    The build quailty of the NP8660 is excellent . . . it is actually a bit better than the NP5793 (same as NP5796 on the outside). The brushed aluminum really gives it a nice look.

    More info coming in the full review in >2 weeks . . . stay tuned.

    Too long, there'll probably be about 10 more reviews out by that time. :)

    Well, the M570TU is constructed very well, there is zero flex in the body if held from opposing corners and not even my finger nail will fit between any of the seams. Over all, I am very pleased with its design, fit and finish.

    After Dell's "Certified" technician changed my motherboard, I was able to pull apart the body and stick my and inside it. They sent me a replacement for it because the insides were snapped in several places during the "repair".
