    Well guys, I decided to address this possible issue. I've scrounged through the web and I can't find a decent Ge60 review. I realised that the best way to figure out the overall quality and solidity of this laptop is to hear from owners of one. I saw in a forum a while ago something out the build quality of the ge60 was somewhat flimsy and the guy would rest his palms below the keyboard and it would creak. I don't know if this is true, and I really hope it isn't because I think this is the coolest looking laptop out there. I'd be willing to invest in a Sager np 9130 if ge60 owners say it might be best. Anyways thanks in advance. If any owners could give me details about build quality or negative things or positive things about it, they would be GREATLY appreciated.

    there is a bit of flex under the right palm rest above the cd drive. I can't speak to how it would compare to the np 9130.

    Same flex over the optical drive is present also in the gt683dx, but strictly over the bezzel and very little for the pgup/pgdown keys.

    Was supposed to get a 9130 but the small number of owners of the unit held me back and a few issues like service centers worldwide. My order is still in the bldg phase but i am sure i made the right decision picking up the ge60 :)
