Dell's build quality does seem to have declined across a lot of their range
The high end stuff feels well made, but the lower and mid range laptops feel like the screen will snap off when you open the lid, really cheap and plasticky.

I have a Toshiba and a Vaio and they're much better made, albeit significantly more expensive than a Dell. Even Thinkpads are pretty rubbish since the Lenovo takeover.
