As for the build quality, the UX feels very solid. From what I have been told, the only two areas that lack the magnesium alloy are the palm rests and the plastic frame around the LCD (note: the back of the LCD does have magnesium alloy, and the difference in material is visibly noticeable). The main reason for not including magnesium alloy in the palm rests was to avoid the shock problem that has been documented with the Sony SZ series. Anyway, there seems to be very little flex. If I put a decent amount of pressure on the palm rest, there is minimal amount of flex of maybe a millimeter or two. There is noticeable flex on the LCD, but not to the point where I would feel it would be problematic. If you press hard enough, you can produce a small ripple one the upper portion of the screen. The hinges on this notebook feel sturdy. When I shake the notebook, the screen does not wobble..
