Those familiar with the ThinkPad X120e should know exactly what to expect from the chassis of the X120e. While the casing is made of plastic and lacks a roll cage, the overall matte shell is surprisingly stiff, which gives an excellent sense of thickness and heft to the build. It may not be as tough as the magnesium alloy construct of the more expensive ThinkPads, but the X120e definitely ranks high amongst other netbooks in its size class. Applying pressure on the center of the lid is the only location where even a hint of depression can be done. Additionally, the hinges attaching the screen to its main base are quite sturdy as well, but the monitor portion will inevitably vibrate slightly if the notebook is being used during bus or car rides.

Due to the two touchpad buttons on the bottom edge center of the notebook, there is no latch for closing the screen and care should be taken when opening the lid. As mentioned in our X100e review, the user can accidentally attempt to open the display from the gap between the touchpad keys and the base instead of the gap between the touchpad keys and the lid.

The main blemish in the case design, however, is its protruding 10.8V 6-cellbattery module on the rear side. While a minor complaint, the battery does add noticeably more volume to the netbook. It also prevents the screen from opening up to a full 180 degrees, and will instead reach about 10 degrees less before the outer lid comes into contact with the battery. Models equipped with the smaller 3-cell battery will not have this issue.

At 3.3 pounds (1.5kg) and 1-inch (2.54cm) thickness, the notebook is quite compact, but is a little thicker and heavier than one would expect. The overall build quality more than makes up for the additional girth, however.
