Aluminum/Magnesium laptop, 13-14"
Looking for an all aluminum sturdy build laptop sizes 13 to 14".
Main requirement: Made out of metals.
Uses: Internet, Books, HD media, 20+ Firefox tabs smooth operation.
Battery must last over 4-5 hours. 2-3 hours isn't acceptable.
Any recommendations ?
I like that Macbook Air but you get so little for so much money, plus you cannot upgrade it yourself or repair it yourself after warranty because it's apple.
HP Envy 13 and DM4 both look interesting.
Any others ?

HP Elitebooks
your MOST durable all metals are the Panny toughbook CF-30 and CF-31 and will crack 15 hours of battery
I believe ASUS and Toshiba have some as well.
many HP probooks and the T series thinkpads are metal internal structure but resin external skinLast edited by crazycanuk; 7th March 2011 at 09:56 PM.

Re: Aluminum/Magnesium laptop, 13-14"
Yeah, i bought the Samsung QX410 a few weeks ago, and I am extremely happy. Powerful processor,great battery life and an extremely solid build quality for the price. The Nvidia 310 gpu is not the most powerful, but it plays many games. I looked at the Asus U41 and the Acer Timeline 4820TG, but their build quality was flimsy compared to the Samsing QX410.
