£30 down from £90.

Don't think I am cool enough to wear these anymore.

Mine turned up this morning and the top part of the bracket had a small bend in it also. Very tiny so just straightened it out. No where near as bad as that tho

Why RMA?

Only a bit of bent metal!?!?!?

Why not when you spend a lot of money on a product? If it's £10 then I'd agree, but for hundreds it's unacceptable.

My first custom build in a few years. Does the job really well. Although a little louder than I prefer.

I suspect the original manufacturer is Lengda as they've made 14" aluminium models in the past. And the place I got it from resells a Lengda 2-in-1 rebranded as Sigma.

I've been eyeing this laptop up over the last few days. How are you finding it? There are barely any reviews out there at the moment - It looks like a fantastic deal but I'm sceptical about the build quality!

Overall the build quality is good for the price. I think most of the chassis pieces are pressed / stamped (keeps the cost down) as opposed to the MBP which CNC's the main body from a single piece of aluminium. As a result it doesn't have the heft that my 13" MBP did. I mean if you hit someone with a 13" MBP, there's a good chance you'd kill them. You'd just end up denting this.

Not quite sure if that's a plus for the MBP or a plus for your laptop.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the OhEsEcks scale of durability at the bottom you have so flimsy it's child safe, to so well constructed that to be hit with it would result in death.

Macbook Pros and Thinkpad T and W series are up there as lethal weapons. This laptop hovers around the middle ground of "you could hit someone with it, but it'll just dent your laptop and **** off whoever you've hit".

I bought a 17 inch MESH laptop in 2003 that could have taken out a small platoon in a single swipe.

MagicBoy · 15 Feb 2015 at 12:01

But would there have been no physical scars on the Mesh?

There seems to be quite a bit of interest in this particular laptop, so perhaps it would be a good idea to set up a new thread about it in the 'Laptops' section, rather than continue to 'hijack' this thread?

Is it worth one of the Mods (or someone with Admin privileges) moving all the relevant posts over there, or shall 'we' just start one up anyway?

Its been an expensive month:

So far:
Apple iMac 5K - i7, 32GB, 295 4GB GFX , 3TB Fusion
Apple MacBook 13" Retina - i5, 16GB, Iris Pro, 512GB SSD
Apple iPhone 6 Plus - 128GB
Apple Airport Time Capsule - 3TB
Beyerdynamic T90 headphones
Sound Blaster X7 DAC
Logitech bluetooth rechargeable keyboard - backlight + multiple bluetooth profiles.
Apple trackpad - Couldn't stand the magic mouse.

I love this setup, connected to the iMac via USB. Thinking of getting the PS4 hooked up via optical.

Plus Tech21 Case for the MacBook:
