NotebookReview checked out this notebook from Compaq, here's a short snip: "The build quality is just about average, which is what I was expecting it to be. The frame is almost entirely made out of hard plastic and is reasonably sturdy. The top of the laptop is made of a hard black scratch resistant plastic and seems to hold up quite well. When I push at the back, a few ripples can be seen on the screen though. The Compaq V2000 has a slightly understated look in comparison with its more attractive cousin -- the HP DV1000. The inside is colored in silver paint and the overall color scheme (black outside and silver inside) is the exact inverse of the HP DV1000. The keyboard is grey/white in color which concerned me a bit, as it would be tougher to keep clean.."
