Two questions, actually.

1) Does anyone know of a laptop for which the bottom of the chassis is made of metal (magnesium or aluminum) other than unibody Macbook Pros? There are many laptops that have metal palmrests and lids, but that are paired with plastic undersides.

2) What is your favorite article of clothing? (Pants, shirt, shorts, underwear, etc). Why?

Dell C400, IIRC. Also, the better Thinkpads have a magnesium structure.
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

2. Dressing Gown. It's warm, comfy and leaves thing free to hang whilst not looking as silly to foreigners as a kilt. :P
nope.

My Precision M4400 has a magnesium base I believe, as do the M6400/6500 and I think possibly some of the Latitude E series.

I think most recent Latitude series laptops have magnesium bases (D and E series)

If my memory serves me correctly, the Sony SZ series has a metal bottom. I wouldn't recommend buying one though because they're complete dog-****.

I'm a big fan of bluejeans & white t-shirts. I think I like them because they're so simple & inexpensive.
? :)

1) The non unibody older model Macbook Pros.

2) Overshirt. I can take it on or off, modulate my temperature, use it to accessorize.

Most of the Panasonic Toughbooks come in magnesium alloy casing. They are also crazy expensive.

wouldn't a metal-based casing conduct heat better? And thus get hotter, and thus makes your lap hotter, and thus makes your sperm go... bad...?

Or am I thinking too much here?

I've had a metal based laptop for 4 years now and I MADE BABIES SUPERFAST :P
2010-01-03, 2:08 PM #20
Just to clarify I don't want to buy a new laptop I'm just curious

(I have a thinkpad)
