I don't know where he got off expecting it to have a magnesium metal casing like a much more expensive MAC laptop?? Maybe just because it looks a lot like one? I can't think of many laptops other than macs that have magnesium metal casings (or whatever metal he said it was).


Nowadays, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Rugged Laptop, Panasonic and even Averatec came on the market with magnesium casings. But all after the Mac, of course.


Well, magnesium alloys are very strong and light. But pure magnesium, damn, that'd be a serious Mission Impossible "This laptop will self-destruct in 5 seconds" kinda machine.
And although they're more expensive than the previous materials used, the cost is well worth it if durability is an issue.

Well.....I didn't get anything. I looked for the laptop that BBE suggested, but all I could find were LG and Sony laptops exclusively. Plus, the screen on BBE's suggestion is a bit small.
So - anyone have a suggestion for a good LG or Sony? Should I get a Dell instead?
