Mine's a little tank, reminiscent of the 600 series machines but without the heft, and has been subjected to a lot of drops, bumps and shocks with no ill effects, probably because of its solid-state hard drive and LED backlights. Mine has even shrugged off assaults from my grandchildren. Expensive, but quality isn't cheap.
