I recently posted in the general form that I was in the market for a new laptop. Since I have started reading about Sager/Clevo laptops I have to say my interest is peaked.

Now for a question that is kind of bothering me. What are the build materials like on the laptop? My past two Sony's have had a brushed metal palm rest. Before that I had two Dells, one of which is made out of cheap plastic.

How are the Sager (Particularly the 8690) laptops built? Is it all plastic and cheap feeling? Is it made out of plastic that may start to crack from temp changes?

Thanks for your time and responses.
