The subpar build quality takes the first ticket in the complaint department: the plastic chassis has significant flex and does not inspire confidence. Next on the list is the touchpad, which is too small for a 15.6-inch screen, and the keyboard, which is strangely missing home/end/page up/page down keys despite being ful...
