The hinges move lightly and are securely anchored. The battery snaps in overlapping the chassis and therefore sits so securely on the case that it acts much like a single unit. The cross-hatched surface of the main memory flap and the air duct next to it can be pushed in quite noticeably. Its shiny surface can only be dented with significant force. We could lightly flex the base when gripping it with two hands. Despite its similarity to the N220, we still get the impression that it is a rather bendy chassis. The construction is nothing special, however. The manufacturer calls its case a stable Dura-Case. It's a nice looking finish which proud N150 users are sure to happily polish daily. But the plastic finish sparkles with tiny glittering particles. The high-gloss lid on the other hand picks up plenty of them. There is no longer a three-dimensional effect like on the sister model N220. The surfaces have a dull feel and don't pick up any fingerprints. The working area sparkles with a metallic effect. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but the machine does loose a typical element of style. One doesn't notice that the N150 is a premium netbook just by looking at it. Where the chassis was once lined with chrome strips (see Samsung N220) we now see a matt Bordeaux-red.
