    Do any clevo/sagers use metal of some sort in them or are they all pure plastic?

    Just don't expect something like an aluminium casing (Macbook) or palm rest (XPS M1530) :D

    I was thinking of buying the Sager/Clevo 12.1'' notebook. I forget what it's called but it's sold at powernotebooks and xoticpc. Does anyone know a lot about it (construction-wise)? I'm not asking for a full metal casing, but for some metal/reinforcement. Does it have that?

    Eurocom was great to deal with as well if you are talking about the M72T. You can configure that beast with the same specs as what I have - the dedicated graphics
