Best test of laptop build quality is the screen support/back
Open the screen up, get hold of both top corners and try and wobble them, if it's too easy then it'll be easy to break.
I have an old Dell laptop where the screen back is alloy, much more sturdy than most of the modern ones which are mostly thin plastic.
