R3x quality/durability
How is the build quality and durability of the r30 series? I understand that they were made by Acer, but are they really inferior compared to their t-series brothers? Also is the case made of ABS or PC+ABS plastic?

By quite a few margins.I understand that they were made by Acer, but are they really inferior compared to their t-series brothers?
I really don't recall, but the structure is the least of the problems on these machines. QC was atrocious for the most part.Also is the case made of ABS or PC+ABS plastic?

Re: R3x quality/durability
OK, thanks for the info. Just wondering, the r60 and later series were made by Lenovo and are not junk, correct?

It's actually R5x series and on which were not built by Acer and are pretty much up to par with their T-series siblings.
