    Im looking for a decent asus similar to the lenovo ideapad y460 or the envy 14 in specs. Anything with a metal build or a finish?

    I think a new 19" notebook is very different to a 14"

    My suggestions:

    Asus U43
    Asus U45 (non Bamboo version to U43)
    Asus N82 (closest competitor)
    *Asus N43

    * This came out at CES 2010 but I am only seeing the N53

    Edit:

    I seemed to have overlooked your metal requirement. The Y460 is not aluminium. The U45 has a brushed aluminium lid but is not fully aluminium like the Envy 14. The N53 I do not believe to be full metal either.
