Is Lenovo metal and sturdy or good durable combo of both? Some brands like Acer and Gateway are flimsy plastic and want to rule out concern with this.

This laptop is aluminum so very sturdy and lightweight at the same time. I bought this laptop to deploy to Afghanistan with and I have no regrets. The laptop is awesome.

The 1 I purchased was metal and sturdy, hut one of the functions advertised did not work and tech service could not repair the problem remotely. I returned it and received a replacement which was a different model. Buyer beware!!!!!!!!!

The quality of the Lenovo metal is very good, trust me, Strong and solid built. The only issue is that is very sensible to finger marks and requires a cleaning pad once a week to keep it nice. Is a light layer but its very firm and well assambled.

Yes it is but the quality is awesome.! sorry I have been sick for a week and just got this thanks for others helping answer this question. This is my second Acer and I am totally happy. The only reason I have this one is because I needed a bigger one then I had for work reasons! I don't like the fingerprint magnet idea either....but you can go to decal gal and get a skin for the top and you wont have that problem anymore I got one for my other one and it looks like a frog got stuck in the computer....lol I was also told from a few people that the Acer is rated up in the top 3 brands of computers in best buy Yes it is but the quality is awesome.! sorry I have been sick for a week and just got this thanks for others helping answer this question.

for sure, i use a sony vaio and its very heavy, and it stands very well.A netbook will be very secure and at a very low cost

Very stable and good for the money. I play games through steam. I do my school work through oracle. Does regular Microsoft office fine. It's a little heavy and big. The screen isn't high resolution. And it's not fast fast but gets the job done.400 bucks or just get a desktop for like 900 with dual monitors and be fully satisfied.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

Not sure about Acer. I got 3 yr warranty through amazon. Laptop's for my son going to college. 6 months in and no problems with laptop - excellent price and very stable.

I cannot answer this question with confidence. The model I have has a different design and metal frame than the one pictured here. My desk is sturdy but I basically use it for my laptop, and a lamp. Perhaps the manufacturer or approved dealer would provide this info.

I've had zero problems with the E545. Having had laptops with AMD processors prior to this one, I've never had a problem with one of them. The Lenova has an excellent keyboard - excellent feel and size. The laptop feels lighter than it is. Overall, I like it far better than the Intel Core i5 Dell Latitude that my employer provides me for work. I did add 4GB of RAM - cost is low and extra memory is good thing when video memory is shared.

Being a US citizen, I'm not confronted with this issue, so I cannot definitively answer this one way or another. However, I cannot think of any reason why Lenovo would have a stipulation that the warranty is void if the laptop is in another country. Lenovo is a Chinese company, and Amazon is pretty much a global company. Therefore, I would think you should be fine.

Assuming this is the same model I had a year or so ago, after three months of trying to find a replacement, I wound up, unfotunately, getting a whole new computer. Stay away from all-in-one computers! And get a Dell. They're the best I found. My Gateway was 6 weeks out of warranty when the hard drive decided to go sideways. Good luck! Jon Ash

I don't regret this purchase for one minute. I love the matte finish screen. The speakers are "OK" but I didn't buy a little netbook for the audio quality so to me it's not a major issue. I've compared it some other brands that my friends have (Acer, Dell, Samsung, Sony) and I would take mine over theirs in a heartbeat. If it got lost, stolen, or broken, I would replace it with the exact same netbook.

This is a very sturdy laptop desk. I have been very happy with it and highly recommend it. I don't think it would have any problem at all with handling a heavier laptop. I anticipate this desk lasting for years.

I'm also looking at silver Asus laptops.can anyone clarify whether the silver paint is durable? is it semi-scratch proof? if not, do you see faint gray or black lines through the white paint when you do scratch it?do the 8 edges get super scratched and you're left with gray-spotted or black-lined edges? does the silver paint looked matte when the paint is really worn or does it still look kind of glossy?Thanks !

Although I have just had my ACER for a few weeks, I feel the screen hinges are VERY sturdy. My son has this same model and has been very happy with it.

It's plastic. I've never seen metal laptop case. I don't think that would be too good for the electric components.

I replaced my gateway pc with the Lenovo G580 and one thing I noticed was that the fan comes on less often and operates quietly when it is on. I haven't noticed the Lenovo being hot either, as compared to a dell pc.
