Plastic bricks. The hardware has always seemed nice to me on the high end Dell laptops, but I've never been a fan of their cheep feeling plastic cases. After owning a magnesium alloy constructed laptop, I refuse to go to anything a smidge less durable. Dell has gotten better with the weight, but they are still on the high end.

I suppose it all depends on what you are buying it for. Looks to have all the specs to be a decent desktop replacement (but not a cheep gaming machine).
