That's how they get you. Their specs are usually amazing for the price but they cut serious corners on build quality. That said, they've obviously improved at least somewhat - mine developed sudden structural problems the week the warranty expired.

Cracked hinge, case falling apart, the works. It had always been treated gently and never even left the house.
In any event now you know why I wouldn't shut the fuck up about my MacBook all those years ago.

That thing was like mana from heaven after the Acer.
