It does have a plastic casing, but it's really solid, no give or play. I'm not thrilled about the plastic near the chuck but can live with that. Other reviewers have noted the noise level -- to me the sound is pretty consistent with gearing down the electric motor RPMs, so reasonable. Zero wobble at the business end, at least with the one that I got, so drilling should run true. Also, found the trigger switch to be just fine -- it is a short squeeze, but most importantly, it's very predictable so doesn't feel to me like a 'hair trigger'.
A great application for this drill is as a corded drill and light driver for bigger assembly projects around the house like putting together furniture or putting up shelving. Plenty of torque, light enough weight, and no battery life limits. Also seems pretty well ventilated for longer continuous operation with sanding disks, wire brush wheels, etc., but haven't had a chance to test that yet.
Wish it came with a fitted Porter-Cable factory hardcase... but I found a solution by springing for an extra ten bucks to get a small, rugged, hard-bottom/soft-sided Porter-Cable tool bag. A bit larger than need be for just the drill, but that leaves room for some bit-sets and drill attachments. So its useful as complete drill 'kit bag', plus you never have mess around with precisely coiling up and fitting the power cord into its designated place within a hardcase.
Factory calls it the "Porter Cable Soft Sided Power Tool Bag" (OEM Replacement Part #A11901). Note that the 1 inch in the 21"x13"x1" product dimensions, refers to bag when folded down. You can get one on Amazon here:
Porter Cable Soft Sided Power Tool Bag # A11901
Now if there was only a drill that did all this and could be locked at any speed...I'll keep dreaming...
PS if your drill smokes send it back, it's defective. Either that or you should think about getting a sharper auger, dull ones burn wood.
