Agreed. I've seen the 300s IRL, and while they look a little less sloppy than they do in photos, they definitely are not pretty. They're very functional in appearance. If you're buying a laptop to impress girls at Starbucks (in which case, you might want to do some serious self-evaluation) this ain't the one for you. If you want to get things done while traveling, you can't beat it.
I'm guessing that chunk of missing plastic is the little latch for the drive bay. Probably you push it to release the optical drive and swap in the battery. I'll let you know for sure when I get one :)
