The build quality on the E1405 is nothing to write home about, but at the same time it isn't bad. When picking the laptop up from one corner you can hear it creaking, but I still feel confident enough picking it up with one hand. Another weak point is the hinges. When pushing on the inside of the hinges you can hear a cracking sound that isn't too pleasant. Also, when the laptop is closed if you're looking at it from the front you can see a small gap on the right side between the laptop and the LCD. It's almost as if the plastic was warped.
