    If it is, why don't I see the difference between my lid and a sz430 lid. It's thinner and brighter, but no signs of having a woven carbon fiber lid...?? Did I get a lemon? I'm pretty sure I have a LED screen... hmmz

    The difference can be seen at the palm rests. Non premium models have silver brushed aluminum while the premium models have it darker (> sz#50).

    Also, there's the premium carbon casing (sz#91) which you can actually see the carbon weaves.

    I'm pretty sure you have a premium model. Hope it helps.
