    For those who own it, how do you feel about it?

    I have been offered one in trade for my Asus M50 with cash and I do not know if I want it or not. The downgrade in size will be nice, that is about all I can say right now, ha.

    It's ok. Decent build quality (albeit flex on top center of screen is noticeable), keyboard is adequate, but I wasn't doing backflips. I've used much better. It is nowhere on the build quality level or keyboard of the M4400.

    I had the D630 and liked it a lot. It is a very sturdy and well built notebook. This thing is built to last (as it is a business notebook), I had my D600 for 4.5 years before I upgraded to the D630 and the D630 is even more robust. I never had any issues with screen flex. The keyboard is a bit damp and not as springy as thinkpad keyboards but it is one of the sturdiest keyboards I've ever used (virtually no flex unless you press down (very) hard on the lower right corner. The keyboard is also quiet. The frame is also very sturdy and doesn't creak or flex much (if at all) when you pick it up. It is a bit heavy (I had the 9cell battery). Speakers are adequate when you need them but I have externals at home and use headphones when I'm on the road. Battery life was decent, with the 9cell I was getting about 4.5 hours if I remember correctly (on normal settings).
