    I'm wondering about the carbon fiber case the M6BNe has. It isn't actually an alloy like with a metal, it it? And what would you compare it to (is it like some plastic cases on other laptops?)? Finally, how does it seem to hold up- does it feel as strong as IBM's magnesium cases?
    Thanks-

    I think the carbon fiber is the internal frame not the case, which seems like regular old plastic to me.
