Picking it up with both hands, we could not bend it at all. The 1001P's case is robust, particularly when the lid is closed. But on the other hand it should be noted that the lid and palm rest area, which are covered with a textured pattern, are more resistant to dirt than the underside. A polishing cloth, of the sort that is included with many high-gloss laptops, does not work very well on a matt surface. But the real problem is not that it gets dirty, as this happens to all notebooks to a greater or lesser extent. This is not easily avoided if the netbook is to be used on the go, since the case always has to be picked up and carried around. The underside is particularly liable to pick up dirt. We tried using the netbook with deliberately dirty hands. Anyone who has looked closely at their keyboard or mouse after a year of use will know how plastic surfaces can become yellowed with dirt over time. Sweat, grease and moisture will quickly find their way onto the matt underside and patterned matt top. After all, the 10-inch 1001P can sit quite literally on the palm of your hand. We opted for the smart white colour, to test how dirt-resistant the matt plastic surfaces are. The Eee PC 1001P comes in white, black and blue.
