Absolute tanks. Mine fell from the roof of my car onto a freeway on-
ramp at ~20 MPH and came out with no worse than a lightly-cracked and
heavily-scuffed case, lasted another ~8 yrs. before succumbing to a
board failure. Bought another used, which has been chugging along ever
since, though it's in need of a replacement PSU jack and battery ATM.

Nobody but *nobody* solved the laptop-hinge problem like Asus did on
those first couple Eee generations. Oneathesedays, maybe when this one
gives up the ghost, I oughta figure out how to rip out the guts and
stuff a little ARM SBC in there...
