    Is there carbon fiber anywhere in the body? I keep seeing people write this on the forums, and I've yet to see any support. Is it true or just BS?

    Alright, I know that there are quite ignorant people around, so everyone who doesn't know what Carbon fibre and Carbon fiber reinforced plastic are to check out the link below for starters:

    - Carbon fiber
    - Carbon fiber reinforced plastic

    It's from Wikipedia, so you don't need to be highly intelligent to understand it.

    No, you are just plain stupid.

    I understand you, it's not easy to have a business class notebook with consumer level keyboard, and honestly I would not drop it.

    btw, i still haven't found anywhere that states lenovo T61 had "carbon fiber reinforced plastic".

    Once again, I'm not accusing you of providing false information, I'd just rather read concrete information.

    I called you retard thinking you wouldn't be so callous about it (a friendly joke). I was wrong to assume that. I apologize.

    I think they are all magnesium alloy...but check out the pdf.

    Alright, it's cool. I apologize too.... erm so, we won't be fighting... :(

    Both of them have CFRP.

    Btw, I won't buy any of them (14.1" aren't my liking), so I don't really care...
