    Hey Guys,

    What is the ASUS G74SX-A1 case made of? Is it plastic, Aluminum, Magnesium, etc.. Every where I've looked, I cannot find any information on the building material used for the case... Thanks!

    It's plastic with a thin rubbery feeling coating. It's a nice case.

    +1 , the feel is really nice ( and the overall construction is way better than any laptop i had , even on Alienware product : it never gets hot as the GPU is located between the " Enter Key " and " Pav num " , where you never put your hands.

    The cooling system is also awesome and not noisy , i'm very pleased with my G74SX ( BUT , i must say it , the keyboard is terrible , i replaced the first model i got because keys that were not perfect , but the new one still have a very bad keyboard , i type very fastly and i'm used to mechanical keyboards ,i'm having many key miss , and it's not a bios issue , the feeling is really bad)
