    I've read all the W3J threads abound here, but haven't gotten anything out of it minus the "solid feel" and brushed aluminum top. Whats the casing on the bottom and back like?

    It's just black plastic with some heat vents.

    the plasic on the bottom looks to be high quality. I took off the bottom panel and it seems to be a high density/quality plastic

    nope, just seems like high quality plastic...in fact most of the chassis seems like plastic except, of course, the brushed aluminum lid

    Usually, the bottom is plastic. I believe the screen and keyboard bezel areas are carbon fibre composite.
