Hi guys haven't posted on notbookforums for a while now, but I've still been frequenting the site for the latest and greatest stuff. Thanks for all your help the last time! What I currently own is the Uniwill 223II0. It's been just over a year since I've gotten the laptop and I must say that I'm pretty disappointed. First off, the build quality of the notebook is leaves something to be desired. Its really plasticy feeling and it creaks all over the place. Doesn't take much pressure at all to depress the case. There are some pieces to the laptop (near the screws) that just came off unexpectedly. I don't treat the notebook harsh at all and it hardly leaves the house. There's noticable keyboard flex and the keyboard is one of if not the noiseist I've encountered. The notebook runs REALLY hot. By hot I mean nut scalding. Hard drive temps sometimes reach 70C on mobilemeter. Screen is a nice resolution, but the matte screen is nowhere near as nice as the xbrite screen we see around today. Well, that's my list of gripes with this system. Now that I'm done with that, I'm currently looking for a replacement. I'm currently looking at the Asus z63a or MSI 1012 or 1013. I would like to use the parts from my current laptop in the new barebones casing. I have a banias processor so that probably won't be able to transfer over.
That said,
1. how are the build quality of these notebooks (this is biggest problem I have with this notebook) I know the Asus is made of carbon fiber, but i've never experienced it before myself, so I have no reference point. I've read that asus lappies are pretty much tops in terms of build quality, but I would like opinions.
I've also read that the MSI's are partially metal. Is that true? If not, how is the build quaility?
2. Keyboard- Another big issue with this laptop. I would like the keyboard to not have any flex. Typing noise is also an issue. I don't like keys that rattle around and disturbs everyone else especially when I'm at the library. Do any of these lappies pass the test?
3. Heat. I've read that there is a heat dissipation issue with the asus. How bad is it? Is is worse than what I have in mine? I would like to keep the jewels as cool as possible. Also, any heat issues with the MSI's?
Well, that's it for now. Sorry for the rant. If you guys/girls know of any other laptops similar to these, feel free to give me your 2 cents.
Thanks!
