A:Answer I have had the Acer for about 6 months. I take it with me on airplanes and I use it for my professional seminar/workshops. I don't know about "long term" durability (I used my Toshiba successfully for more than 7 years before retiring it), but this Acer seems up to every task I have given to it. I haven't dropped it, but it has survived the usual airline check in procedures without incident.
